Abstract: Apparatus for use with a paper yard waste bag is disclosed. The bag has a flat rectangular bottom and, when expanded and empty, interiorly defines a void substantially in the shape of a rectangular prism. The apparatus includes a body having collapsed and expanded configurations as well as a support and a chute. When collapsed, the support is smaller than said prism. When expanded and in use, the support is disposed in a portion of said bag to hold that portion at least substantially fully expanded and the chute is disposed exteriorly of the bag and leads through the support into said bag, the chute having a base side arranged substantially coplanar with a wall of the bag, thereby to permit said bag and apparatus to be positioned with the wall of the bag and the base side of the chute on the ground to function like a dustpan.
