Abstract: Disclosed is a receptacle for attachment to the edge of a horizontal work surface, comprising a mounting bracket that is adapted to slideably engage the edge of a work surface, and a waste container that is removably attachable to the bracket. The bracket includes an open center area forming an aperture for accepting and holding the waste container in a working position. The bracket can be attached without the use of specialized mounting hardware. Debris can be moved from the edge of the work surface, and deposited into the receptacle. The device can be installed and removed as needed, which prevents the need for permanent installation.
