A support stand for disposal bags includes a base and at least four posts extending upwardly from the base. Each post terminates in an upper extremity. An extendable tip is positioned at the upper extremity of each post. Each extendable tip is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. Extendable tips are maintained in the extended position by a locking mechanism. Releasing the locking mechanism on one or more extendable tip causes the extendable tip to move to the retracted position thereby relieving tension on a disposal bag that is supported in the support stand to avoid binding between the disposal bag and the posts.
