Abstract
A combination collection and bagging disposal system is provided. The system includes an intake hose configured to connect to a lawn mower via a lawn mower output adapter. The intake hose connects to a collection housing unit configured to temporarily store debris. The collection housing unit may include an airflow screen to facilitate airflow through the system while keeping the debris trapped in the collection housing unit. A flexible debris collection tube is connected to the collection housing unit and expands as debris is collected. Once a desired capacity is reached, the flexible debris collection tube is cut and sealed for disposal.
