Abstract: A holding device for detachably holding a garbage can to a link fence at any desired height. The garbage can is firmly held to the holding device by a wedge-like portion of the holding device which extends between a handle of the garbage can and the garbage can. A projecting member of the holding device projects through any one link of the link fence and coacts with the upper and lower parts of that link to bind the holding device thereto. Radially extending arm members of the holding device coact with the link fence to maintain the holding device in a substantially parallel position to the link fence. The garbage can is partially encircled by a portion of the holding device so as to prevent any wavering of the garbage can while it is secured to the holding device.
