A mounting bracket for mounting a container to a support surface includes a base having a mounting portion configured to be mounted to the support surface and a support portion configured to receive a portion of the container. The bracket further includes a securing member pivotally coupled to the support portion for movement in only a single pivot plane between a first position, in which the container can be removed from the support portion, and a second position, in which the container cannot be removed from the support portion. A lock is operable to selectively lock the securing member in the second position. At least one of the base or the securing member includes an aperture through which a portion of the other one of the base or the securing member extends when the securing member is in the second position.
