Apparatus for facilitating the collection of debris comprises a ramp having a receiving end and a discharging end, a support for the ramp positions the receiving end adjacent the debris and elevates the discharge end, and a container for the debris is supported by the ramp support adjacent the discharge end for receiving debris, such as leaves, therewithin. The ramp and its support may comprise a unitary structure in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the debris container may comprise a cart, one or more walls of which may serve to support the ramp and the ramp may be detached therefrom or it may be pivotally supported thereby for rotation into position as a cover on the cart. The ramp, its support, and the debris container are constructed for portability and facile assembly and disassembly.
