Abstract: A disposable tablecloth and collection bag combination that allows each of the disposable tablecloths to become an individual disposable collection bag for disposing of any debris, garbage and refuse collected on the tablecloth after a meal is finished. The disposable tablecloth and collection bag combination includes a dispensing housing system containing a plurality of stacked disposable tablecloths for individually dispensing one of the plurality of disposable tablecloths at a time. The disposable tablecloth includes a top planar surface, a bottom planar surface, and folded perimeter edges for forming a plurality of cinching channels for receiving a continuous cinching tie member extending through the channels. Two of the adjacent folded perimeter edges are used in the forming of a cinching section for allowing the continuous cinching tie member to be pulled through the cinching section when the meal is finished.
