The invention disclosed herein is a debris bag for a push-type lawn comber. Such a lawn comber is representative of similar devices such as lawn mowers and sweepers, in are provided with a rearwardly extended push handle. The lawn comber carries an array of radial impact arms upon a transverse shaft within the body of the comber. Rotation of the shaft and impact arms upon it by a power drive throws debris through a chute at the rear of the machine. A bag is carried upon a frame which latches itself to the chute and cantilevers rearwardly from the chute to define the top of the bag. A closure cover fits over this bag top to enclose it when the unit is n operation. A lever is used to engage the impact arm shaft with the power drive. Whenever the lever is depressed rearwardly alongside the bag, engagement occurs. A finger on the bag frame holds the lever in place and thus sustained engagement of the shaft impact arm shaft with the power drive is not possible unless the bag is in proper position upon the lawn comber.
