Abstract: A refuse container holder for holding and physically stabilizing refuse containers, especially when those refuse containers are positioned at the curbside in front of the residence. A device includes a vertical element, that includes an upwardly directed hook that are capable of engaging a handle on a refuse container so that the refuse container cannot be overturned or moved by the wind but can easily be lifted off the hook by a refuse collector and may include a plastic casing. The device also includes a horizontal element. Each refuse container has a groove in its bottom surface adapted to engage the horizontal element and thereby enhance the stability of the refuse container on the horizontal element.
