    Abstract: This is the Garden Debris Collection Device. It allows one person to fill a large plastic bag, unassisted, even in windy conditions. It consists of a large cylinder or other suitable shape into which a bag with a larger diameter than the cylinder is inserted and fastened about the rim. The bag inside the cylinder is filled with debris. The cylinder and bag are then lifted allowing the debris to settle. The now empty cylinder sits on the bag's bottom which has been expanded by the debris. Repeat until the bag is full. The Garden Debris Collection Device is fundamentally different from other bag filling devices. The collection bag itself controls the volume of material contained, not a device inserted into the bag, nor a device surrounding the bag. Garden Debris Collection Device controls the bag and allows it to be filled and ready to secure by conventional means.
