A yard waste collection assembly includes a tarp that is positionable on a horizontal support surface such that debris cam be positioned on the tarp. The tarp is foldable onto itself to enclose the debris positioned on the tarp. A plurality of adhesive strips is each coupled to the tarp and each of the adhesive strips adheres to a respective one of the adhesive strips when the tarp is folded. In this way the adhesive strips can retain the debris in the tarp thereby facilitating the tarp to transport the debris for disposal. A plurality of stakes is provided and each of the stakes is extendable through a respective one of the stake holes and engage the horizontal support surface to inhibit the tarp from moving on the horizontal support surface.

An apparatus and device are disclosed which include a receptacle, a lid adapted to fit on the receptacle, and a bag attached to the lid. The lid and the bag are both configured to be disposable. The receptacle can be disposable or reusable. An assembly is also disclosed which includes a package and a plurality of lids, each lid having an attached bag.

Thermoplastic bags with phased deformation patterns are described. In particular, one or more implementations comprise thermoplastic bags with ring rolling, SELFing, or other deformation patterns phased or aligned relative to the sides of the bags. The phased deformation patterns can allow for reducing or eliminating deformation patterns in areas of the thermoplastic bag in which side seals or other seals are formed. Additionally or alternatively, the phased deformation patterns can provide for zones that provide differing properties (e.g., functional or aesthetic). Such zones can vary aligned along a width of the thermoplastic bag and optionally also vary along a height of the thermoplastic bag. The differing zones can provide the thermoplastic bags with phased deformations that provide leak prevention, liquid containment, and other benefits.

In some embodiments, a debris bundling device can include a substrate including at least one edge. The substrate may be formed from a flexible material. The debris bundling device may further include a plurality of strings and a plurality of fasteners coupled to the substrate. Each string may include a first end coupled to the substrate and may include a second end. Each fastener may be configured to engage the second end of one of the plurality of strings to secure the substrate in a wrapped state.

Effective systems for separating, collecting and transferring organic waste from multi-unit residential buildings to deliver to composting centers are described which facilitate the reduction of contamination of the organic waste with non-compostable plastic bags. This is accomplished both by ensuring that the residents are constantly provided with compostable replacement bags for their kitchen caddies after each delivery of a bag by the resident to the recycling room, and through consistent marking that reminds residents of the system's requirements.

A garbage bag set for improving trash maintenance and management. The garbage bag set includes a plurality of detachably interconnected garbage bags configured to be simultaneously seated within an existing trash receptacle. Such detachably interconnected garbage bags include at least a first garbage bag and a second garbage bag wherein the first garbage bag is removably lined with the second garbage bag. In this manner, the detachably interconnected garbage bags are coextensively shaped. The detachably interconnected garbage bags are further configured such that the first garbage bag is detached from the second garbage bag while the second garbage bag remains seated within the existing trash receptacle.

A foldable tarp apparatus with enhanced strength to collect trimmed leaves and branches of a plant for a disposal is provided. The tarp apparatus includes a foldable circular sheet having a central opening and an outer edge, the circular sheet having a slit extending from an edge of the central opening to the outer edge of the circular sheet, and a plurality of spine members coupled to the circular sheet, each spine member extending radially on the circular sheet and positioned equidistant from adjacent spine members. The central opening of the circular sheet receives the base of the plant therethrough to secure the circular sheet on the ground area surrounding the plant, thereby permitting the circular sheet to collect the trimmed leaves and branches of the plant.

Systems, methods and devices are provided for transporting, tracking and managing waste or recyclable materials, which may include one or more devices for transporting waste or recyclable material, such a via a bin that comprises a base; and a collapsible sleeve movable between an open state and a collapsed state, wherein the collapsible sleeve in the open state interfaces in a nesting manner with the base to form a bin for receiving and transporting waste material.

A method for transporting goods on a pallet, where the pallet may be reversibly converted to a bin for the collection of waste and/or recyclable material. The pallet may include a base with side walls and a collapsible sleeve wherein, if the collapsible sleeve is open and joined to the base, the collapsible sleeve, with the base, forms a bin. Goods are transported on the pallet. After unloading the pallets and removing the goods, the pallet may be converted to a bin. Waste or recyclable material may be placed in the bin and transported away. After removing the material in the bin and cleaning the bin, the bin may be collapsed back into a pallet for the transportation of goods.

A device for transporting waste or recyclable material is disclosed. The device can include a base with at least one temporary attachment mechanism to secure a collapsible sleeve in an open state to the base. The device may further include a collapsible sleeve movable between an open state and a collapsed state, the collapsible sleeve including at least one opening for interfacing with the at least one temporary attachment mechanism to secure the collapsible sleeve in an open state to the base, thus forming a bin for receiving and transporting waste or recyclable material.
