Abstract

Abstract A trash bag caddy of the type to store and transport loaded plastic trash bags. The trash bag caddy comprises a wheeled, rigid frame having two parallel tubular legs forming a horizontal lower member which, in turn, supports two vertical members at opposite ends. One of the vertical members has a handlebar means thereon. An upper rectangular member positioned in a vertically-spaced relation above the lower member comprises two releasably joined U-shaped portions which attach to the vertical support to complete the rigid frame. A multi-apertured bag made from materials sufficiently strong to withstand the attack of canine creatures and other small animals is carried by the upper rectangular member. The multi-apertured bag is sufficiently pliant to permit the deposit of a variable number of the aforementioned trash bags.
