Great time saver - makes picking up leafs almost fun

I put a large trash bag in a trash container and pull the edges over the top then tie the B & D leaf collector under the handles of the container, this way it can not slip off, attach it to my blower/vac and start vacuuming the leaves. What normally took two to three hours, now took less than one and I didn’t have to bend over once.
The release on the pull string was a little tricky at first but after opening and closing it a few times I had no problems.
Without the B & D Leaf Collection System I was emptying the bag almost once every few minutes and making a mess each time. Now once the container if full I just tie the trash bag pull it out and put in another. I highly recomend it.

Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

A DREAM COME TRUE
I was daydreaming of just such a system this year as I spent many hours sucking up the leaves from the corners of my yard. I have a 2 acre lot and its quite a chore. The original bag was quick to fill up, but then it took ages to go through the routine of detaching, emptying the bag into the old paper leaf bags, and then re-attaching the bag.I saw this system in a store and thought I’d take a risk to order just the collection system from Amazon for my gas blower. With a bit of modification I attached it to my gas powered Homelite blower, got some Extra Large trash bags (45 gallon) for my 45 gallon square trash can.WOW! I was off - what a system. Now I was sending most of my time sucking and almost no time bagging.I’d recommend you use the largest trash can possible (the bag fits better) - with wheels (to help your mobility) - and put a couple of bricks in the bottom (to keep it stable as you move around the yard).I LOVE THIS SYSTEM. If you want to take a chunk of time out of the annual chore, do not hesitate, buy it now.

An awkward accessory for your Leaf Hog
I was thrilled to see this accessory offered as the shoulder bag included with my BV2500 Leaf Hog was too small for the volume of autumn leaves my maple and Japanese plum trees deposit on my front lawn (not to mention the year-round shedding of bamboo leaves in my backyard).The system looks great in pictures, but what the pictures don’t show is what happens to the attachment once you actually turn on the vac. The porous fabric cover fills with air, putting a big cotton/nylon baloon over the top of your waste can. If you don’t secure the bag tightly enough (which is quite a chore given the design of the drawstring), it comes flying off. And the drawstring. Given how much tugging and pulling and tying (!) it takes to get the attachment secure, it’ll be a miracle if it lasts more than a season.The design appears to be optimized for waste cans with square tops, so perhaps my round can is the problem. Attaching the cover to the lip of the can does not work, so I’ve been wrapping the cover over the top of it such that there’s no slack in the bag. That works well enough, but I end up spilling leaf mulch all over the place when removing the cover.It’s better than emptying the shoulder bag every three minutes, but not by much.
