Abstract

A bucket waste bag holder accessory that includes a support ring with a pendent skirt with at least two legs attached or formed on the front surface of the support ring or pendent skirt. Formed on the distal ends of each leg is a U-shaped clip configured to snap fit over the rounded top edge of a bucket. During installation, the top edge of a plastic bag is folded over the support ring and the pendent skirt and the closed end of the plastic bag is extended through a center opening. The legs are sufficiently spaced apart and extend downward from the support ring to support the top opening of the bag is a suspended, elevated position above the bucket while the closed end of the plastic bag rests inside the bucket. In one embodiment, the legs are configured to selectively rotate enabling them to attach to buckets with different top edges. An optional elastic strap may hold the plastic bag on the support ring and pendent skirt when filling the plastic bag with waste.
