Configurable universal bag holder

An apparatus comprising:

• an open-topped container defined by a first side panel, a back panel, a second side panel, and a central panel, wherein the first side panel attaches at a first side edge of the first side panel to a first side edge of the back panel, the second side panel attaches at a first side edge of the second side panel to a second side edge of the back panel, and the central panel attaches at a first side edge of the central panel to a second side edge of the first side panel and at a second side edge of the central panel to a second side edge of the second side panel, and wherein an interior face of the central panel faces an interior face of the back panel;
• a bag support rack attached to an exterior face of the central panel, the bag support rack comprising a first bag support arm parallel to a second bag support arm, the first bag support arm spaced a pre-defined distance from the second bag support arm to support a bag in an unfolded configuration between the first bag support arm and the second bag support arm;
• and
• a bag rest platform extending from a bottom of the open-topped container in a direction parallel to the first bag support arm and the second bag support arm, the bag rest platform configured to support a bottom of the bag in the unfolded configuration.

A universal bag holder comprising:

• a bag storage receptacle comprising:
• a central panel;
• a first side member attached at a first side edge of the first side member to a first side edge of the central panel;
• a second side member attached at a first side edge of the second side member to a second side edge of the central panel, the second side member facing opposite the first side member;
• a back member attached at a first side edge of the back member to a second side edge of the first side member and at a second side edge of the back member to a second side edge of the second side member, wherein the central panel, the first side member, the second side member, and the back member define an open-topped central cavity of the bag storage receptacle;
• a bag rest platform, wherein a portion of the bag rest platform forms a bottom panel of the open-topped central cavity and another portion of the bag rest platform extends out from a bottom edge of the central panel in a direction perpendicular to the open-topped central cavity;
• and
• a bag support rack affixed to an exterior, upper portion of the central panel relative to the open-topped central cavity, the bag support rack comprising a first support arm and a second support arm parallel to the first support arm, the first support arm and the second support arm extending linearly away from the exterior, upper portion of the central panel relative to the open-topped central cavity.
