Abstract: A garbage bag system for providing an economical and disposable garbage bag then when opened maintains a freestanding shape. With a freestanding shape the garbage bag system does not require an additional container or frame to hold the garbage bag open. Deleting this requirement will significantly simplify lawn maintenance and janitorial work. A support ring at the top, and a support ring at the bottom, give shape and rigidity to the system. The sides are constructed using molded beveled flutes running vertically to provide structural support to the system. Openings in the top of the system provide access to a cinch strap used for drawing the garbage bag system closed. A second embodiment of the garbage system uses a plurality of telescopic side sections to provide additional support to the freestanding design.
