Abstract: The trash bag holder disclosed herein comprises a collapsible frame which is inserted preferably in its collapsed condition into the trash bag and is then opened to provide supports for the sides of the bag while trash is swept into the bag while it is laid horizontally on the ground. This holder has a flap at the front of the frame which facilitates the sweeping of trash into the bag. Where desired an additional support may be provided to hold the top side of the bag when it is laid on the ground. When the bag is filled, the frame is easily withdrawn from the bags.
