Abstract: The present invention provides for the safe and easy transport of refuse cans such as standard residential refuse cans. The invention is a device that may be removably attached to a vehicle to receive a refuse can for transport. The present invention includes a removably mountable refuse can transport device that is mounted to a vehicle by a hitch engagement such as an insert to a conventional trailer hitch, a vertical support mounted with a base that supports a refuse can and a locking plate that rotates to retain a refuse can on the base to allow convenient transport of the refuse can. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention a lock and release control member is coupled to the locking plate. In an alternate embodiment of the invention the refuse can transporting includes a support frame that temporary attaches to a motor vehicle, an articulated support on the frame which moves up and down to move a retaining bracket into and out of engagement with a refuse can.
