Abstract: An outdoor bag holder is made up of a rigid bag supporting member ("rbsm") that has a multiple of corners, two legs that are rotateably attached to the back of the rbsm, a U-shaped support arm, and a resting plate. The U-shaped support arm is rotateably attached to two sides of the rbsm. The resting plate is attached between the two legs, at a height such that when the U-shaped arm is supported by the resting plate, the rbsm is held perpendicular to the two legs. The dimensions of rbsm are chosen, such that when a bag of the type and size for which it was designed, has its mouth folded over the rbsm, the bag will be held open, and in place, by the tension between it, and the rbsm. The rods are of a shape and diameter, to allow them to be inserted into the ground, and are long enough, so that they can be inserted sufficiently far into the ground, so that the bag holder is held up, and at the same time, leave sufficient clearance between the rbsm, and the ground, for the bag for which it was designed.
