A bag holding device particularly designed for holding in an open position a trash bag or similar type of receptacle such that it is capable of receiving easily large amounts of trash such as leaves or year debris. The device includes a generally loop-shaped frame having a flexible member secured along the frame. The flexible member is adapted to form a loop of bag material as the bag is placed over the frame such that when a retaining means is moved downwardly on to the frame to hold the bag in place secured thereto, the loop of bag material formed by the flexible member will allow the retaining device to secure the bag in place without damaging the bag material itself. This is achieved by making the flexible device collapsable to allow the loop to close as the retaining member is placed downwardly on to the frame.
