An article receptacle for the disposal of articles, such as trash and litter, includes a flexible bag frictionally retained between two frames. The frames nest together to permit the bag to be inserted and removed without bending or deforming the frames, and to permit the frictional engagement of the frames to strengthen in response to the bag load. Several attachments provide support for the assembled frames: a hip mount supports the frames on a user\s belt; a scoop attachment supports the frames in an upright position at ground level and includes a ramp to permit debris to be swept directly into the bag mouth; and a wall mount supports the frames from a vertical surface.

An article receptacle, comprising: flexible bag; an inner frame, sized to permit the mouth of said bag to be inserted through and folded over said inner frame; an outer frame, independent of said inner frame, having a horizontal top leg with a bottom surface adapted to bear against the surface of a support member, said horizontal top leg terminating in a free end and a side surface oriented at an angle relative to said bottom surface, extending below said bottom surface; said outer frame being sized, and said inner and outer frames being formed to nest together to permit said inner frame to be freely and easily removed from said outer frame by lifting said inner frame out of said outer frame, and permit said inner and outer frames to frictionally engage said bag therebetween by lowering said inner frame into said outer frame, said frames, when nested, positioned exclusively at the mouth of said bag without extending to the bottom of said bag, and said inner and outer frames separate from and independent of said support member to allow said bag to be moved to a location remote from said support member without disengaging said bag from said frame.
