1. A stake for a bag mouth holder comprising: a longitudinal spike with a distal end and a stake tip opposite the distal end;a head portion having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the distal end of the longitudinal spike, wherein the head portion extends transversely from the longitudinal spike at a predefined angle; anda clip portion with a first clip end and a second clip end, the second clip end having a clip tip extending transversely therefrom towards the head, the first clip end connected to the second end of the head portion with the clip portion extending generally towards the first end and substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the head portion;wherein the head portion and the clip portion define an open space therebetween;wherein the open space is shaped to receive one upper portion of a bag mouth holder with the clip portion and the head portion engaging the upper portion, wherein the bag mouth holder has the general shape of a rectangular perimeter of a hyperbolic paraboloid with upper, middle, and lower portions that define a rectangular opening, the middle portions being oriented in a generally perpendicular position relative to the upper portions and to the lower portions, the bag mouth holder being temporarily changeable from an uncompressed shape to a compressed shape when subjected to applied pressure enabling the bag mouth holder to be placed within a refuse bag with the middle portions substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the refuse bag and the upper portions protruding outward from a top portion of the refuse bag, the bag mouth holder being changeable again to the uncompressed shape when disposed within a mouth of the refuse bag by releasing the applied pressure, thereby causing the middle portions to exert outward force on interior corners of the refuse bag adequate to maintain the mouth of the refuse bag in the open position. 2. The stake according to claim 1, wherein the open space substantially has a shape selected from the group consisting of a rectangle, a rectangle with rounded ends, and a rectangle with a domed side. 3. The stake according to claim 1, wherein head portion and clip portion are textured for engagement with the one upper portion of the bag mouth holder and opener. 4. A stake for a bag mouth holder comprising: a longitudinal spike with a distal end and a stake tip opposite the distal end;a head portion having a first end and a second end, the first end connected to the distal end of the longitudinal spike, wherein the head portion extends transversely from the longitudinal spike at a predefined angle; anda clip portion with a first clip end and a second clip end, the second clip end having a clip tie extending transversely therefrom towards the head, the first clip end connected to the second end of the head portion with the clip portion extending generally towards the first end and substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the head portion;wherein the head portion and the clip portion define an open space therebetween; andwherein the head portion defines a first through opening and the clip portion defines a second through opening, the first through opening being aligned with the second through opening to receive a fastener therethrough. 5. An apparatus for maintaining a mouth of a refuse bag in an open position, the device comprising: a generally-rectangular frame independent from the refuse bag, the generally-rectangular frame defining an opening with a central axis therethrough, the generally-rectangular frame comprising: a pair of spaced apart, substantially-parallel, upwardly-curved members each having a proximal end and a distal end;a pair of spaced apart, substantially-parallel downwardly-curved members, wherein one of the pair of downwardly-curved members is connected between the proximal ends of the upwardly-curved members and another one of the pair of downwardly-curved members is connected between the distal ends of the upwardly-curved members; anda stake head portion having a first end and a second end, the first end extending from the generally-rectangular frame in a direction substantially parallel to the central axis; anda longitudinal spike with a distal end and a stake tip, the distal end connected to and extending transversely from the first end of the stake head portion at a predefined angle between about sixty and about ninety degrees;wherein the generally-rectangular frame is capable of being compressed for insertion into and removal from the mouth of the refuse bag;wherein a portion of the generally-rectangular frame is capable of protruding from the mouth of the refuse bag when positioned in the mouth of the refuse bag to maintain the mouth of the refuse bag in an open position; andwherein when the generally-rectangular frame is positioned in the mouth of the refuse bag, the generally-rectangular shape of the resilient frame maintains the rectangular shape of the mouth of the refuse bag;wherein the longitudinal spike is configured to be driven into a ground when the device is positioned in the mouth of the refuse bag to retain the device in a fixed position on the ground; anda clip portion with a first clip end and a second clip end, the second clip end having a clip tip extending transversely therefrom and towards the stake head portion, the first clip end connected to the first end of the stake head portion with the clip portion extending substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the stake head portion, wherein the stake head portion and the clip portion define an open space therebetween and a gap between the clip tip and the head portion;wherein the open space is shaped to receive one of the upwardly-curved members or the downwardly-curved members with the clip portion and the head portion in engagement therewith. 6. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the open space substantially has a shape selected from the group consisting of a rectangle, a rectangle with rounded ends, and a rectangle with a domed side. 7. The apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the head portion and the clip portion are textured for non-slip engagement with the one of the upwardly-curved members or the downwardly-curved members. 8. The apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the head portion defines a first through opening and the clip portion defines a second through opening, the first through opening being substantially aligned with the second through opening for receiving a fastener therethrough. 9. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein the stake head portion and the longitudinal spike are integrally formed with the generally-rectangular frame.
