A commercial laundry collection apparatus having a removable laundry bag maintained on a bag stand. The bag stand includes a bag supporting portion freely expandable to a predetermined extent. A bag body of the laundry bag has a larger bottom portion tapering to a smaller upper portion defining a bag mouth. The smaller upper portion is folded back upon the bag supporting portion of the bag stand such that the bag mouth will be open for receipt of soiled laundry. The upper portion of the bag body is dimensioned such that the bag supporting portion of the bag stand will be unable to completely expand to the predetermined extent. As a result, the bag supporting portion of the bag stand will impart an outward force tending to maintain the laundry bag thereon. The laundry bag further includes a pair of longitudinal tie members attached to the upper portion of the bag body at respective opposite locations across the bag mouth. To lessen incidence of tangling, such tie members are narrower at a first end portion attached to the bag body than at a second end portion thereof.
