Abstract: A flexible trash bag support apparatus adapted for use with conventional trash bags. The apparatus includes a substantially rigid flat back, two foldably connected side members, and trash bag holding slots which can secure trash bags in the desired position. The back may include an extension rendering it taller than the two side members so as to serve as a backboard for allowing refuse thrown at the bag to be deflected thereinto. Additionally, the surfaces of the back and side members may be coated with a conventional; waterproof substance to protect them from damage and increase the life span of the apparatus. The apparatus as thus described is a safe and efficient method of supporting trash bags, and is novel in its method and apparatus for achieving this result.
