A pivot bolt is disposed through a frame exterior side at each corner of each of the upper and lower frame portions and an outer end of the respective hanger bar. A storage clip is engageable to an attachment pin when the parallelepiped frame is collapsed to secure the upper and lower frame portions together.

A subpanel for a bag stand includes: a first side panel and a second side panel, each of the first side panel and the second side panel including a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness defined from the inner surface to the outer surface. The first side panel additionally includes a connection finger, the connection finger connected to a first side end of the two side ends of the first side panel, the connection finger including a clearance portion and a clasp portion. The second side panel is at least indirectly connected to the first side panel and defines a connection recess in a first side end of the two side ends of the second side panel distal from the first side panel, the connection recess including a clearance portion and a lock portion.

A bag includes an upper surface and a lower surface. When the bag is in use, a material being collected in the bag is placed on the upper surface, and the lower surface is in contact with a support surface. The bag further includes a channel and a drawstring located in the channel. The channel has an opening through which the drawstring is accessible by a user of the bag. The opening is located in a corner of the bag. The bag is cinched closed by pulling on the drawstring.

A trash receptacle attachment for helping to collect debris. The trash receptacle attachment includes a housing having an inlet portion, an outlet portion, and a hollow interior volume. The outlet portion is configured to be received within a trash receptacle, wherein mounting brackets attached to the exterior of the housing and are configured to removably mount to an opening of the trash receptacle to support the outlet portion within the trash receptacle. The inlet portion extends above the opening of the trash receptacle when the outlet portion is supported within the trash receptacle, wherein the inlet portion includes a funnel-like shape and is widened relative to the outlet portion. Debris is inserted into the inlet portion and the debris passes through the housing and the outlet portion thereof, into the interior of the trash receptacle.

A lawn refuse bag insert includes a bag stand having a top stand end and a bottom stand end, the bag stand includes an end wall and a first side wall, the first side wall is hingedly coupled to the end wall, the first side wall defining a slot, the slot defining a retainer tab, a finger opening; a first rake detachably coupled to the bag stand; wherein the lawn refuse bag is configurable in a blank configuration and an erect configuration, and wherein each of the walls are disposed in a vertical orientation in the erected configuration.

A device for collecting and storing yard debris prior to disposal may be a yard debris trash chute, wherein the trash chute includes a drum supported by a support structure. The drum may have an open bottom and a beveled or flared top end and may be sized to accommodate insertion of a bag therein. The support structure may include a frame with a bag holder extending therefrom, wherein the bag holder is positioned to support an end of the bag extending outward from the open bottom end of the drum.

A bulk handling system for collecting, loading, transporting and dumping of yard waste and landscape materials such as grass clippings, yard debris, soil, mulch, stone and other dry and/or wet substances. The functions for controlling and operating the mechanical bulk handling system include a titling lift platform for filling and dumping and a gate that when open acts as a lift to move materials into the bulk container and when closed functions as a closed door. In addition to the bulk container operating in a horizontal position for transporting, which uses virtually no floor space on the platform and/or vehicle selected for use, it can also be angled downward for filling and elevated for dumping and emptying. For filling, the gate end of bulk container and lift frame can be lowered closer to the ground from a vehicle for easier and more efficient loading by an operator.

An apparatus includes a flexible sheet of material having a perimeter edge and a central opening forming a discharge chute, and first and second clips coupled to the flexible sheet for securing an open end of a bag around an outer circumferential surface of the discharge chute, wherein the first and second clips are spaced apart about the outer circumferential surface of the discharge chute. With the discharge chut inserted into the bag and the bag secured to the clips, the flexible sheet is laid on the group and debris or other solid materials may be raked, shoveled, or otherwise placed on the flexible sheet. Raising the flexible sheet, such as by lifting with handles around a perimeter edge, causes the debris to pass through the discharge chute and into the bag. The size of the apparatus may be adapted for the application, such as leaf collection or sandbag preparation.

A subpanel for a bag stand includes: a first side panel and a second side panel, each of the first side panel and the second side panel including a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness defined from the inner surface to the outer surface. The first side panel additionally includes a connection finger, the connection finger connected to a first side end of the two side ends of the first side panel, the connection finger including a clearance portion and a clasp portion. The second side panel is at least indirectly connected to the first side panel and defines a connection recess in a first side end of the two side ends of the second side panel distal from the first side panel, the connection recess including a clearance portion and a lock portion.

A yard waste collection and carrying device is in the form of a large flat-bottomed tray open at one end, sized to receive leaves, sticks and other materials raked into the open end. Formed of a semi-rigid rubbery plastic material, the device stores a large volume of material, has a pair of opposed side handles for carrying, and is easily deformed to curve the forward end into a pouring configuration, so that the collected materials can easily be transferred into a narrower waste can. The shape of the device is such as to be compactly stackable for storing or shipping a number of the devices together.
