Abstract: A vacuum apparatus for debris collection comprises a motor vehicle having a vacuum tank collector and means for generating a vacuum. A horizontally and vertically extendible tube is connected to the vacuum tank collector, and extendible support linkage supports the tube along its length. Means are provided for extending and retracting the support linkage and the tube with respect to the vehicle and the ground while pivoting the tube and support linkage on a support base member pivotally mounted on the vehicle to provide a wide range of motion over the ground surface.
