1. A device for supporting a container on a support structure, the container having a wire handle and a curved sidewall, the device comprising:a pair of spaced apart side members, each of the side members having an upper portion adapted to engage the support structure, each of the side members further having a notch sized to receive the wire handle;a central portion disposed between the side members, the central portion defining a receiving area sized and shaped to receive the container, the receiving area further sized and shaped to engage only the sidewall of the container along an elongate and longitudinally extending curved interface; andwherein the notch of each of the side members and the curved interface are arranged such that the container is supportable exclusively by the notches and the curved interface. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein each notch is angled. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein each of the side members includes an edge, each notch formed in a corresponding edge. 4. The device of claim 3, wherein each side member is separated from the central portion by a fold line, and wherein the edge of each side member is spaced away from its corresponding fold line. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein each of the side members further comprises a panel, each panel connected to the central portion along a fold line and extending away from the central receiving area. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the notch of each of the side members is formed in an edge portion of the panel. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the upper portion of each of the side members includes a downwardly facing hook. 8. The device of claim 7, each of the hooks further having a pair of legs, the pair of legs cooperating to define a receiving area sized and shaped to receive the support structure. 9. The device of claim 7, wherein the upper portion of at least one of the side members includes an upwardly facing hook. 10. The device of claim 9, wherein the second hook is spaced away from the downwardly facing hooks and includes a pair of legs, the legs defining a receiving area. 11. The device of claim 1, wherein the central portion includes a top edge and a cutout extending parallel to the top edge, the cutout separated from the top edge by a cross member, the cross member and the cutout cooperating to form a handle. 12. The device of claim 11, wherein the cutout is spaced a first distance from the top edge, the notches located on the side members such that a top portion of the container is disposed a second distance greater than the first distance from the top edge when the container is in the receiving area such that the handle is exposed. 13. The device of claim 1, the central portion having a concave curved surface such that the receiving area is shaped to engage at least a portion of the curved sidewall of the container. 14. The device of claim 1, wherein the support structure is a ladder having at least one rung, and wherein the upper portion of each side member forms a hook sized to engage the rung. 15. A device for supporting a container on a support structure, the container having a wire handle and a curved sidewall, the device comprising:a pair of spaced apart side members, each of the side members having an upper portion adapted to engage the support structure, each of the side members further having a front edge and a rear edge, the rear edge of each of the side members having a notch sized to receive the wire handle, each of the side members further having at least one hook sized to engage the support structure; anda longitudinally extending central portion disposed between the side members, the central portion defining a generally concave receiving area sized and shaped to receive the container, the central portion meeting each of the side members along a longitudinally extending interface defined at least in part by the front edge of the side members, the central portion further having a handle, the handle sized to be accessible w hen a container is placed in the receiving area. 16. A device for supporting a container having a sidewall and a curved wire handle on a support structure, the device comprising:a central panel, the central panel shaped to receive a portion of the sidewall of the container along an elongate longitudinally extending receiving surface; anda pair of side members joined to opposite sides of the central panel and separated from the central panel by an elongate and generally linear interface, each of the side members having a notch sized to receive the curved wire handle of the container, each of the side members further having a pair of downward facing hooks sized to engage the support structure;the receiving surface and the notches arranged so that upon placement of the container in the receiving area with the wire handle disposed in the notches the container is supported exclusively by contact between the wire handle and the notches and by contact between the sidewall and the receiving surface. 17. The device of claim 16, each of the side members including length adjustment means for adjusting the length of the side members. 18. The device of claim 16, wherein each of the side members include means for changing the orientation of the hooks. 19. The device of claim 16, each of the side members further comprising a brace, the brace sized to engage a lower portion of the support structure. 20. A device for supporting a container on a support structure, the container having curved sidewall and a handle formed in part by a curved wire, the device comprising:a pair of spaced apart side panels, each of the side panels having an upper portion adapted to engage the support structure, each of the side panels further having a front edge and a rear edge;an angled notch disposed on the rear edge of each of the side panels, each notch sized to receive a portion of the curved wire; anda longitudinally extending central panel disposed between the side panels, the central panel extending between the front edges of each of the side panels and meeting each front edge along a longitudinally extending line, the central panel having a front side, the front side sized and shaped to define a longitudinally extending receiving area arranged to receive the container along an elongate interface. 21. The device of claim 20, wherein the central panel is generally concave toward the front side. 22. The device of claim 20, wherein the central panel includes a handle formed at least in part by an aperture in the central panel.
