A device for supporting a plastic trash bag in an open and upright position while protecting the plastic bag from becoming ripped and punctured is disclosed. The device is made up of a tubular base and a funnel member. The tubular base, made of corrugated paper having waxed interior and exterior surfaces, has of a plurality of side panels some of which have cut slits to receive flaps from the funnel member for interconnection between the two components. The funneling unit has an interlocking means coupled to its opposite ends to interconnect the ends to form the funnel shaped. The funneling unit further comprises a fastening means for affixing the funneling unit to the tubular base. The funneling unit also has a means for securing the plastic bag in an open and upright position. When the tubular base is inserted into the plastic trash bag, the plastic bag is raised into an open and upright position and secured by the securing means.
