    Abstract: An improved combine waste collection system includes a frame which breaks down into a forward section and a rear section. The rear section of the frame is provided with wheels, and it supports a dump wagon in which the waste is collected and stored. The forward portion of the frame is telescopically extensible, and it includes a conveyor which collects waste from the combine and carries it to a blower, operated at a higher speed, for taking the waste material from the conveyor and forcing it into the dump wagon. A modification includes a powered paddle wheel to assist in feeding larger pieces of straw or the like into the blower.
