A wall-mountable material dispensing system includes a material dispenser having a back wall, a bottom surface, a first element of an engagement component, and a self-alignment receiver, and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a baseplate having a generally planar wall-facing surface and an opposite outward-facing surface, a self-alignment protrusion extending from the outward-facing surface, wherein the self-alignment receiver is sized to at least partially receive the self-alignment protrusion. The mounting bracket also includes a second element of the engagement component configured to engage with the first element of the engagement component, wherein the second element of the engagement component is disposed on or in the outward-facing surface, a support member extending from or adjacent to the outward-facing surface, and a wall-mounting mechanism disposed on or adjacent to the wall-facing surface.
