Abstract
A grass collection bag which can be removably supported on a lawn mower comprises a main body portion having a first access opening which can be connected to the grass discharge outlet of the lawn mower and a second access opening which serves as an outlet through which accumulated grass clippings can be dumped from the bag. Foldable first and second end panels are joined along one edge to each other and attached to the main body portion of the bag adjacent to the second access opening. A cord member is connected to each of the end panels. The cord members are joined to effect simultaneous folding of each end panel upon itself and back along the main body portion of the bag to bring the junction of the end panels into a position overlying and closing the second access opening.
