ABSTRACT:
An improved device and method are provided for bundling debris, such as tree, shrubbery and rosebush trimmings and the like. The device has an elongate body member with a grip, a guide with an opening, and a retainer. An elongate flexible member, which has a connector at one end detachably connected to the retainer and a handle at the other end, is adapted to be slidably displaced through the opening to compress the debris from an uncompacted configuration to a compacted configuration. An adapter is provided to releasably maintain the debris, in conjunction with the flexible member, in the compacted configuration as a binder is tied around the debris to form a transportable bundle of the debris in the compacted configuration. The device may optionally be integrally constructed, including a binder holder with or without a top for foot bearing purposes and/or a cutter for the binder, if desired. The device also includes a hook, or the like, to engage the binder about the bundle for manually transporting the bundle for disposal thereof. A method of using the device is described for bundling the debris.
