Abstract
A rectangular bag support frame is formed of extruded thermoplastic pipes and molded thermoplastic Y-joints. The joints and pipes form upper and lower parallel frames with a bag receiving cavity. The upper joints each have radially outwardly extending coplanar flanges forming a channel region for capturing the draw string edge region of a collapsible bag to be temporarily secured to the upper frame. The bag is supported by the frame at the bag edge regions which are wrapped about the upper frame with the draw string loop captured by the joint flanges. The draw string is then tightened to secure the bag upper end to the upper frame while the bag contained in the frame cavity is filled, the upper frame keeping the bag open for filling.
