Claim 4:
5. A yard waste collection assembly for collecting and storing yard waste for subsequent disposal, said assembly comprising:
a tarp being comprised of a biodegradable material wherein said tarp is configured to decay after a predetermined duration of time, said tarp having a plurality of stake holes each extending through said tarp, said tarp being positionable on a horizontal support surface wherein said tarp is configured to have debris positioned on said tarp, said tarp being foldable onto itself wherein said tarp is configured to enclose the debris positioned on said tarp, said tarp having a first surface, a second surface and a perimeter edge extending between said first surface and said second surface, said perimeter edge having a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a top side and a bottom side, said tarp being elongated between said first lateral side and said second lateral side, each of said stake holes extending through said first surface and said second surface of said tarp, each of said stake holes being positioned adjacent to said perimeter edge, said plurality of stake holes including a set of first stake holes being distributed along said first lateral side of said perimeter edge, said plurality of stake holes including a set of second stake holes being distributed along said second lateral side of said perimeter edge, said tarp being foldable along a line extending between said top side and said bottom side of said perimeter edge having said first lateral side being aligned with said second lateral side when said tarp is folded;
a plurality of adhesive strips, each of said adhesive strips being coupled to said tarp, each of said adhesive strips adhering to a respective one of said adhesive strips when said tarp is folded wherein said adhesive strips are configured to retain the debris in said tarp thereby facilitating said tarp to transport the debris for disposal, each of said adhesive strips being positioned on said first surface of said tarp, said plurality of adhesive strips extending along said perimeter edge wherein each of said stake holes extends through an associated one of said adhesive strips, each of said first set of stake holes extending through said adhesive strip being positioned along said first lateral side of said perimeter edge, each of said second set of stake holes extending through said adhesive strip being positioned along said second lateral side of said perimeter edge, each of said adhesive strips having an exposed surface with respect to said first surface of said tarp, said exposed surface of said adhesive strip along said top side being folded onto itself when said tarp is folded, said exposed surface of said adhesive strip along said bottom side being folded onto itself when said tarp is folded, said exposed surface of said adhesive strip along said first lateral side adhesively engaging said exposed surface of said adhesive strip along said second lateral side when said tarp is folded;
a plurality of protective sheets, each of said protective sheets being removably bonded to said exposed surface of a respective one of said adhesive strips to protect said exposed surface; and
a plurality of stakes, each of said stakes being extendable through a respective one of said stake holes and engaging the horizontal support surface to inhibit said tarp from moving on the horizontal support surface, each of said stakes including a head and a stem extending downwardly from said head, said stem having a distal end with respect to said head, said distal end tapering to a point for penetrating the horizontal support surface.
