A plastic bag holding assembly for holding a plastic bag in an open position so that a single user may be easily sweep debris into the open garbage bag the device includes a debris directing member with upright side walls forming a debris directing channel which provides a member for easily sweeping debris into the trash bag opening while the directing channel includes prevent debris from being swept around an outside portion of the opened plastic bag, the debris directing member also hold a flattened portioned of the opened bag in contact with a floor surface so that debris is not swept under the opened plastic bag. A "C" shaped resilient bag holding member is pivotally attached to the upright side walls and provides a maintaining member for the bag in an opened position and a holding member for the device to the opened bag.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A Plastic Bag Holder device adaptable for use in maintaining a plastic bag opening in an open position, maintaining a flattened portion of a plastic bag opening in contact with a floor or ground surface thereby allowing a single user to sweep debris into the opening of the plastic bag and not sweeping the debris under the flattened portion of the plastic bag opening or around an outside portion of the opened plastic bag, the device comprising:a) a debris directing member comprising a planar and rectangular base member with a front edge, back edge, two side edges, and top and bottom surfaces, upright side walls extending from each side edge and further extending from the front edge to the back along each side edge of the base member creating a debris channel defined by the space between the two side edges and the top surface of the base member, the bottom surface of the base member providing a planar surface for holding a flattened portion of a plastic bag opening in contact with a floor or ground surface,b) a C shaped member comprising two resilient rib members connected to each other by a cross member, the C shaped member is further pivotally attached to two mounting tabs, one mounting tab extending from each upright side wall and positioned on the upright side wall about mid way between the front and back edges of the base member, the resilient rib members are further biased to resist movement towards one another so that when a plastic bag opening is placed over the resilient ribs after a user has urged the resilient rib members towards one another and the resilient rib members are released the resilient rib members provide a means for maintaining the plastic bag on the C shaped member, the C shaped member further comprising a frictional pivotal attachment thereby preventing inadvertent pivoting of the C shaped member.
