Leaf clean-up

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. Except when the leaves need to be collected. Our garbage man will collect bagged leaves left on the curb. Getting the leaves into the bag has always been a chore. Until I came up with Bob's Bag Buddy.

Bob’s Bag Buddy
1.Begin with a strong cardboard box that is ~20” tall and has a perimeter of ~55”-60”. Cut off top and bottom of the box.
Use garbage bags with ties, Glad, e.g. Find a large plastic dust scoop and a leaf pile.















2.Fold box slightly and insert it into the bag.



3.Bag Buddy will rise as leaves are compacted around the inside edge.



4. When compacted leaves are at the top of the bag, remove Bag Buddy.



5.Result: fully stuffed and tied bag of leaves- ready for the curb.



6. Save Bag Buddy for next year’s use.

Enjoy a wonderful season of the year.
