Abstract: A support for plastic bags having handles or carrying loops, which support is characterized by a frame having a rectangular or square base, a pair of vertical members rigidly upward-standing from the base and a bag retainer supported by the vertical members parallel to and spaced from the base. A pair of bag handle retainers are provided on the vertical members and an optional lid 15 may be hinged to the bag retainer. The support is designed to receive plastic shopping bags provided with integral, oppositely-disposed handles, such that the bag pouch is inserted through the bag retainer and over the base, with the handles folded over opposite sides of the bag retainer and extended into engagement with the oppositely-disposed bag handle retainers. The optional lid may then be closed over the top or mouth of the bag, as desired.
