A debris collection device, which collects the debris from the top comprising:
- a sheet of flexible pliable material for covering a pile of debris;
- a plurality of elongated support members of substantially equal length;
- and
- means for joining said elongated support members to said flexible pliable material.
A debris collection device comprising:
- a sheet of flexible material having a first side edge and a second side edge;
- a width between the first and second side edges being less than two meters and a length of the first and second side edges each being less than two meters;
- a first rigid support member attached to the first side edge;
- and
- a second rigid support member attached to the second side edge, the first and second rigid support members capable of being brought together so that the sheet of flexible material encircles debris.
A method for collecting debris comprising the steps of:
- placing a debris collecting device having a sheet of flexible material having a first side edge and a second side edge, a first rigid support member attached to the first side edge and a second rigid support member attached to the second side edge manually over a pile of debris;
