Abstract
Abstract A trash bag holder comprises a stand supporting a textured circular support ring over which the lip of a trash bag can be folded. A resilient tube-shaped arcuate clamp engages the ring with a layer of the bag therebetween to hold the bag onto the ring. When engaged with the ring, the ends of the clamp are separated to provide an area in which excess bag material can be accumulated.
