ABSTRACT:
A debris collector is provided that includes a sleeve including a top opening and a bottom opening, the sleeve being operable to be attached to a bag adjacent to the bottom opening, the sleeve defining an interior. A support structure is connected to the sleeve, the support structure consisting of at least one support element, wherein the support element is manually operable to bring the sleeve in a generally upright position that permits debris to be readily inserted into the opening. The sleeve also includes a connecting means for connecting the bag to the sleeve. The sleeve is operable to funnel debris inserted in the top opening from the interior into the bag through the bottom opening. The sleeve and the support structure cooperate to permit a user to manually operate the debris collector to achieve a collapsed position that permits debris to be collected on top of the sleeve and wherein the sleeve and the support structure permit a user to direct the debris collected on the top of the sleeve into the interior and then into the bag by lifting the sleeve. A method of collecting debris using the debris collector is also provided.
