A plurality of bags in the base member are releasably connected end-to-end so that pulling one bag from the dispenser automatically pulls a succeeding bag from the dispenser. The dispenser top wall has an opening through which a bag can be withdrawn to engage a top end of the bag with the top end of the receptacle while leaving a lower end of the bag attached to a succeeding bag in the dispenser. A membrane closes the opening in the base member to prevent entry of dirt and debris into the base member, and an opening is formed in the membrane to permit a bag to be withdrawn from the base member through the membrane.
