The garbage bag maintenance system device employing a front and rear plate in springing engagement with one another, the front plate employing an opening through which a portion of a trash container liner is threaded, when the desired amount of the trash container liner is threaded through the opening, the front and back plate are released causing them to shut over a portion of the trash container liner thereby creating a snug engagement between the trash container liner and the top rim of a trash container. This engagement of the trash container liner with the front and back plate of the device holds the trash container liner in place so that it remains substantially in the position it is adjusted to and resists being pushed down into the trash container.
