A yard-leaf caddy has a container floor (1) that is rectangular. Hinged to an aft edge is an aft wall (2) that pivots down forwardly to a storage mode and up rearwardly to a containment mode. Hinged to the front edge is a ramp wall (4) that pivots down forwardly to a ramp mode, that pivots up rearwardly to the containment mode, and that pivots down rearwardly to the storage mode. Hinged to the first-side edge (6) is a first side wall that pivots down second-sidewardly to the storage mode, and that pivots up first-sidewardly to the containment mode. Hinged to the second-side edge is a second-side wall (8) that pivots down first-sidewardly to the storage mode, and that pivots up second-sidewardly to the containment mode. Wheels (10, 11) are positioned to rotate proximate opposite sides of the aft edge. Included in the container floor is an outlet valve (14) for bottom emptying. Handle apertures (21) are included in the ramp wall, the first side wall, the second side wall and the aft wall. All of the walls are lightweight panels for hand-portable light weight in either the storage mode or the containment mode. The yard-leaf caddy has a width that allows the container floor to straddle a top of a predetermined garbage can (15) and that allows the ramp wall to enter a predetermined garbage bag (19) for being emptied. The walls have heights that allow them to be folded downwardly towards each other without overlapping. Typically, exclusive of wheel dimensions, the yard-leaf caddy has an overall width of about thirty inches, an overall length of about thirty-six inches and a height of about twelve inches. The wheels are preferably lightweight with diameters of approximately seven inches.
