    Abstract: The invention relates to a yard waste collection device that provides an efficient method to quickly collect, contain and bag yard debris, by allowing the operator to sweep the yard debris directly onto a series of stacked flat sheets or stacked, tarp-like bags attached to a mobile frame. The device (1) includes the combination of flat sheets or flat, tarp-like bags (15) with draw string or tape (13) and a frame (1) that contains, through an attachment mechanism, either a single or multiple flat sheets or tarp-like bags (15). The flat sheet or tarp-like bag can be easily removed from the frame once debris is raked into the sheet or bag by releasing the four tabs from the post on the frame and by pulling the four corners together. The draw string or tape (13) of the flat sheet or tarp-like bag is drawn up and the full sheet or bag is removed and transported as needed. The device is instantly ready to continue the collection because the next tarp-like bag (15) underneath the first bag is in place.
