This device and method provide the efficient collection, compression, and lifting of tree/plant leaves, debris, particles, fragments, loose pieces and parts from any ground surface to be deposited into any collection container. This invention greatly increases the amount of material handled, and also eliminates several common problems with current raking and shoveling methods. The device functions flat, as a rigid collection platform, yet can be rolled to compact its contents for lifting and dispensing into a collection container. When contents, such as tree leaves, are compressed in the device, the operator manually assists the dispensing of its contents via the adjustable gap in the rolled device. The gap is easily set by the double-handle design. The double-handle design can be used to completely close the gap in the rolled device when hard, non-compressible materials (e.g. sheetrock fragments) are being lifted, tipped vertically, and dispensed.
