Abstract

Systems and methods herein provide a bag dispenser cover for covering or concealing various types of bag dispensers. In some examples, the bag dispenser includes a body and an edge configured to cover the bag dispenser. The edge may be configured to fit in a gap located between the bag dispenser base and a counter component upon which the bag dispenser base is mounted, for example a rotating carousel. Bag dispenser covers may protect bags associated with a bag dispenser from unauthorized access or removal.
