Abstract

A portable yard waste bag system that includes a bag holding accessory that attaches to the top edge of a wheelbarrow that temporarily holds a yard waste bag in an opened position in the bucket. The accessory includes a top ring with a pendent skirt. The lower edges of the front section of the skirt curves around and connects to the top edge of a wheelbarrow. When assembled on the wheelbarrow, the lower edge of the skirt engages the bucket's front top edge while the top ring is held in a forward extending, diagonally position directly over the wheel. A waste bag is unfolded and extends through the top ring's center opening so that the bag's bottom end rests inside the bucket. The top edge of the bag is folded over the top ring. An optional lid is provided and connects over the top ring to close the bag.
