Abstract
A pocket is formed on the lower exterior portion of a vacuum cleaner bag, with the pocket having a lip at its upper end which extends substantially across the entire bag width. The pocket functions to receive and store debris manually removed from the floor for later disposal. A removable caddy is provided for holding other desired equipment. The caddy includes a pair of expandable pockets and a rear flap which extends downwardly over the aforementioned lip and into the bag pocket. The caddy hangs freely from the lip and is held in position by the vertically extending vacuum cleaner handle.
