Abstract
The debris catcher is a waste receptacle that is adapted for use with a drill. The debris catcher is further adapted for use with a wall. The debris catcher captures and removes the waste generated by a drill when the drill is used to drill a hole in a wall. The debris catcher is a collection bag that is attached to the wall underneath drill site such that debris generated from the drill site will fall into the debris catcher. The debris catcher comprises a collection bag, a first adhesive, a second adhesive, and a plurality of spring loaded clips.
