Abstract: A relatively simple, collapsible garbage bag holder of the type for use outdoors includes an annular frame with a outer peripheral groove therein for receiving a split ring, which is used to releasably retain the top end of a garbage bag on the frame, legs releasably connected to the frame for holding the latter above the ground, a pair of handles on the free ends of the split ring for rotating the ring around a hinge on the opposite side of the frame between an open bag receiving position and a closed position, and a triangular latching lever rotatably mounted on one handle with a arcuate slot therein for slidably receiving the other handle, whereby when the lever is rotated the handles are drawn together to tighten the ring against the bag and into the groove.
