The device to prevent a bag with handles from collapsing inside a refuse receptacle is a band of stretchable material with plurality of hooks suspended from axis of a band and said hooks move freely along the axis of a band. The circumference of device is less than that of refuse receptacle for which it is being adapted thus it fits snuggly anywhere on the outer surface of refuse receptacle. The plastic bag with handles is secured to a refuse receptacle by inserting closed end of the bag into the refuse receptacle and folding the open end of the plastic bag over the rim of the refuse receptacle such that handles of plastic bag folded down on the side and secured by hooks to prevent plastic bag with handles from slipping over a rim and collapsing inside the refuse receptacle.
