A cart for transporting associated paper refuse bags comprising:
- a first frame foldably attached to a second frame with a hinge for folding the cart between a use condition and a storage condition, wherein a top surface of the first frame and a top surface of the second frame face the same direction when the cart is in the use condition wherein the top surface of the first frame and the top surface of the second frame face each other when the cart is in the storage condition, and wherein the first frame and the second frame have substantially the same longitudinal length;
- a first mesh fixedly attached to the first frame for supporting a first associated paper refuse bag, the first mesh comprising a first plurality of mesh members and a second plurality of mesh members, and wherein the first plurality of mesh members is offset from the second plurality of mesh members by an angle greater than zero;
- a second mesh fixedly attached to the second frame for supporting a second associated paper refuse bag, the second mesh comprising a first plurality of mesh members and a second plurality of mesh members, and wherein the first plurality of mesh members is offset from the second plurality of mesh members by an angle greater than zero;
- a first plurality of wheels operatively attached to the first frame, and a second plurality of wheels operatively attached to the second frame;
- a flexible handle extending from the first frame for moving the cart;
- a plurality of tarp attachment devices for attaching a tarp to cover the associated paper refuse bags.
