Abstract: The trash bag assembly includes a flexible open-topped trash bag having a holder releasably disposed inside the trash bag and holding it up for easy insertion of trash thereinto. The holder includes a frame and trash bag clamps to lock the bag to the top of the holder. The frame has a horizontal portion supported on depending vertical legs with rounded bottoms. The horizontal portion is collapsable and includes four arms pivotably interconnected at opposite ends thereof. In the operative position they are at right angles to each other to form an open-centered square or rectangle. The arms and/or legs can be adjustable in size, as by telescoping or the use of turnbuckles, to fit various sizes of trash bags. The clamps may be channel-shaped bars mounted on top of the arms, and the pivotably interconnected corners of some or all of the arms can be releasably locked to hold the arms in their operative position. With the holder inside the bag, it can expand freely to its full size during filling.
