Applicant is aware of U.S. Pat. No. 2,079,592 to Battin, that issued on May 11, 1937 dealing with a garbage receptacle that is collapsible against a frame.
Thus, what is disclosed is a method of constructing a pager bag wherein the method comprises forming a predetermined construction from paper bag paper that has four distinct sections, a leading edge, a following edge, two truncated flaps on a first end, two truncated flaps on a second end and two square flaps alternating with two truncated flaps on the first end and the second end.
The four distinct sections are folded over such that a leading edge and a following edge overlap. Thereafter, attaching the edges to each other.
Both square flaps are folded over on a first end of the construction and attached to each other at a common overlap. Two truncated flaps of the construction are folded over on a first end of the construction onto the folded square flaps and attaching the truncated flaps to the folded square flaps.
Two square flaps on the second end of the construction, near a top outside surface thereof, are formed into a small, looped attachment to the construction.
Also contemplated within the scope of this invention are bags manufactured from this process.

The construction is facilitated by forming the bag 7 first by bending the segments 2 along the crease lines 6 such that they form a hollow shell. The end designated 9 in
In the first end 9, the square flaps 3 are first folded inwardly toward each other and attached together near their leading edges 11. These edges overlap and are thus fastened together at this point.
The truncated flaps 4 are then folded over top of the square flaps 3 and attached to the square flaps 3 to form a secure bottom or first end to the bag 7 (See
The second end 10 looped attachments 15 (shown in
The bag 7 is now ready for use. “Small” for purposes of this invention means that Rods or poles (not shown because not part of the invention) can be inserted into the looped attachments 15 and the bag 7 can then be supported on a framework attached to a lawn tractor or the like. The size of the rods or poles is not critical, as long as they are stout enough to support a full bag of lawn debris. Preferred for this invention are rods of plastic or metal having a diameter of from ½ inch to 1 inch.
When the bag 7 needs to be removed from the support on the tractor and moved to a salvage removal point, then the truncated flaps 4 are folded won over the top 10 of the bag 7 and then the square flaps 3 are laid over top of the truncated flaps 4. In the event that the bag 7 is equipped with self-stick adhesive 19 (
The bag 7 is constructed out of paper bag paper, such as Kraft paper.
Also contemplated within the scope of this invention is a bag 7 whose top edges 20 (See
