Abstract A bag mountable on laterally spaced support rods and a retainer disposed between the laterally spaced support rods of a support rack includes a front and a rear wall defining an open top. A pair of laterally spaced handles project upwardly from the open top of the bag. The handles include mounting apertures for the mounting of each handle on a corresponding support rod. The rear wall of the bag includes an aperture centrally disposed between the handles and below the open top for reception by the retainer for supporting only the rear wall of the bag on the rack.
