The blower assembly is located distal to the cutting blade housing and is powered by the lawnmower engine. A transport conduit has a transport-conduit input end and a transport-conduit output end which is connected to the cutting blade housing. A pressurized blower conduit has a blower-conduit input end and a blower-conduit output end which is connected to the blower assembly. The blower-conduit output end is connected to the transport conduit at an intermediate position between the transport-conduit input end and the transport-conduit output end. A top loading container assembly is supported by the lawnmower, and the top loading container assembly is connected to the transport-conduit output end. The blower-conduit output end is connected to the intermediate position of the transport conduit at an acute connection angle between the transport conduit and the blower-conduit output end. The blower assembly includes an impeller connected to the engine. A blower housing is supported by the lawnmower and houses the impeller. The blower-conduit input end is connected to the blower housing, and the blower housing includes a plurality of air inlets. The top loading container assembly includes a container, a container-support bracket which supports the container, fasteners for connecting the container-support bracket to the lawnmower, and a cover assembly supported by the container.
