Abstract: Trash bagging apparatus for facilitating emplacing trash in a flexible container comprising two flat side sheets hingedly connected together at their interior edges, their exterior edges free to be pivoted about the hinged connection for carrying or storage, or opened up to engage a flexible container for trash or the like, at least one of the flat side sheets being adapted to lie flat on the ground for having trash swept thereinto; and biasing spring strip for biasing the exterior edges toward their extremities so as to hold a flexible container onto the bottom of the trash bagging apparatus. Also disclosed are respective improvements; such as, a handle for carrying the side sheets, front and rear bag holders for holding the top of a trash bag, and a preferred embodiment in which the trash bagging apparatus is formed from a single substantially planar plastic sheet.
