    Abstract: A lidless garbage bag holder for mounting on the inside vertical surfaces of cupboard doors is described. In a preferred embodiment, the bag holder has a frame portion fixed to the door and a movable portion coupled pivoted to the fixed portion, the movable portion automatically moving to the open position as the door opens and to the closed position as the cupboard door is closed by engagement between a leading portion of the movable portion such as a horizontal rod, and a ramp mounted on the cabinet floor. The closure ramp also provides means to keep the door firmly shut when it is in the closed position. The bag holder has handle receiving portions with friction fit caps and can accomodate bags with and without handles, the friction fit caps holding the bags without handles on the frame portions. In an alternative embodiment the ramp is part of the leading portion of the movable frame portion.
