I always have a 30 gal (or so) trash bag sitting in one corner of my attached garage right by the door. I am tired of it sitting on the floor. I have looked quite a bit online and all of the trash bag holders seem to be made for small kitchen type bags. I do not want one of the holders that sits on the floor. Does anyone here have something that is mounted to the wall that will hold your typical larger trash bag ?? If i have to I will make something but sure would be nice to find something to buy.

Thanks !!

Typical not what you asked for but I have a 30 gallon brut trash can on wheels that I put a contractor bag in which works well for me.

I don't want a barrel or trash can. When the bag gets full I tie it closed and put it in the back of my truck to take to the shop dumpster. One easy motion without having to pull it out of the can :)

Dad used to have an aluminum frame contraption that looked like a two wheel dolly with a rectangular top piece. Trash bag goes in the top, wraps over the edges. As it filled, the dolly could be used to move it around. When full, pull the bag out the bottom.

You could do something similar as a wall mount.

Edit: kinda like this, but without the lid.

These kinds of things -- a metal ring with an elastic bungee cord -- are used all over Europe in public spaces to mount trash bags to walls or freestanding posts. They let everyone see what's inside, for security and for maintenance. It's a nifty design one doesn't see over here.

I've thought about bringing home one for my shop as a souvenir some time.

One of the producers is France's Rossignol, the same company known for skis. It's their product shown above.

You might be able to repurpose an old basketball hoop for that task. You could even use the net hooks to loop some rope or webbing to hold the bag up when it gets too heavy for gravity.

I don't see how any contraption made to hold a trash bag on the wall in such a way you can actually just toss something in the bag wouldn't be far more of a pita to change out when the time comes. When I take a trash bag out of the can, I just tie it off, then lift it out. Any of those hoops that requires the bag to somehow be attached so it doesn't just fall back on the floor is going to get in the way of your "just grab and go" process. FWIW, I drill some 1" holes a couple inches from the bottom of the trash can so that the bag doesn't get stuck in the trash can due to suction. Holes are high enough that probably a gallon or more could leak out in the trash can before it runs out onto the floor.

The one I pictured above, a buddy had one in his enclosed trailer. Flip the bungee cord up off the bag and there the bag sat on the floor, tie it and go.

I never liked it for the thought of something leaking through the bag or tossing something in and ripping the bag. I'd prefer a can to help retain the mess in case of a bag failure. However, to each their own.

I skip the bag and just use the can. Not wasting $$ on trash bags unless actually needed.

The Bag Buddy is close, but not wall mounted... although I guess it could be.

This one is pretty much what you're looking for. It can be wall mounted or hanging, but doesn't sit proud of the wall. I think that could be pretty easily fixed with some easily fabricated supports made from coat hanger wire or similar.



When I was a kid, I honestly thought trash bags were something like $5 each, from all the bellowing I got from my parents whenever I used one.

Trash management was my chore, but they refused to buy anything but the cheapest, largest bags on the market, and insisted that all trash must be firmly compacted to the density of neutronium so that all the weekly waste from a family of four could fit into one whisper-thin 55 gallon bag in a gigantic, reeking trash can taking up 1/4 of the kitchen.

And then, inevitably, the cheap, overloaded bag ripped open, necessitating the use of at least one more bag, all accompanied by more bellowing and remonstrations for my carelessness and the (also cheap and thin) paper towels used for the cleanup.

Even when I was old enough to do the math and point out that better, smaller bags would end up costing less, we HAD to buy the cheapos and ration them carefully. And no, this was not poverty. Just an unexplained corner of extreme frugality amidst plenty.

When I was on my own, it still took quite some time for me to break the habit so I could buy good bags and change them as needed without cringing. Here in 2024, excellent quality kitchen bags are less than 20 cents each, and I have not jumped up and down in a garbage can for many years.

Slit the bag 3 or 4 inches, 4 or 5 inches from the top, on 2 sides of of the bag and hang it on a door knob?

Here’s a design some of the local municipalities used years ago. I have one on a weighted stand and the pics show some mounted to the garage wall in the town just north of me. One of the large yard waste bags fit over the top. I’m not sure if Edmonston or Bladensburg used these when you lived nearby.

If the image isn’t clear enough I can get another one later.

I cannot imagine supporting a large trash bag only at the top unless I was only using it to contain used Kleenex. We use heavy duty trash bags in Rubbermaid trash cans, and the bags still tend to dribble when we pull them out.

So I have no useful advice for the OP.

Who would have thought pulling a trash bag out of a can is too much work these days...?

A nice 25/30gal oil drum sure would look and work nicely.
