Abstract
Abstract A support device for replaceable soft material bags in which the bag is attached to a foot-operated segmented lid. The lid, when open, spreads the bag to its extreme open position and, when closed, functions to close the bag and to somewhat compact its contents. The segmented lid closure mechanism holds, prepositions, and provides a sanitary lid for the trash receptacle bag.
