Claim:
A lawn debris catcher apparatus for a lawn debris collection machine comprising: a porous catch bag attachable to the lawn debris collection machine, the porous catch bag having a framed opening for receiving lawn debris discharged by the lawn debris collection machine; an insertable tubular-shaped container insertable within the porous catch bag, the insertable tubular container having a uniform material composition, the insertable tubular container including a plurality of side surfaces and a closed end, the insertable tubular container further including an open end opposite the closed end for receiving compressible lawn debris contents therein discharged from the lawn debris collection machine; a plurality of perforations disposed substantially on at least one side surface of the insertable tubular container, the plurality of perforations allowing a flow of forced air generated by the lawn debris collection machine to be sufficiently discharged from the insertable tubular container; and a plurality of flaps formed as part of the insertable tubular container extend from the open end, each respective flap extends from a respective side surface of the insertable tubular container, wherein each respective flap is unattached from an adjacent flap so that each respective flap may be independently folded outward from the open end and over the framed opening of the porous catch bag to hold the tubular-shaped container in place without fasteners when the flow of forced air and lawn debris generated by the lawn debris collection machine is received in the insertable tubular container and the flow of forced air is discharged through the insertable tubular container and the porous catch bag.
