Abstract
A system is provided for handling debris, such as twigs, leaves, grass cuttings, refuse and the like comprising a fan-shredding device including a vacuum nozzle, the nozzle being shut off from the fan suction when various units are mounted thereon, such as a hopper and a flexible extension hose. Also, a blower is provided by similarly mounting a cowl on the nozzle and a blower tube on the discharge chute of the fan-shredding device. Shredded debris is bagged in a bag mounted on the discharge chute. On bagging, the shredded debris is compacted by the fan blowing action on the small shredded particles.
