Hello everyone, my name is Shrish and i am creating this discussion to ask for your opinion on my GCSE DT project. I am trying to create a product that helps people to clean up their garden after hosting a celebration or festival there. I would like to receive some direct feedback from those who spend time in their gardens on aspects that my product must NEED in order for it to be successful and what a user might WANT my product to include. I am looking forward to your responses, thank you so much for your time and patience. This is much appreciated.

    Good guests who help to clean up would be the best thing. Maybe a light trolley effort that you could attach a couple of bin bags with something to hold them open so that you could separate recyclables from non

    Something easy to store, doesn’t take up much room.  EASILY collapsible/foldable, not too heavy so it can be used by most people.  Encompass two or more functions because I like garden tools that do more than one job.

    Easily maintainable i.e. non rusting metal, robust plastic that doesn’t get brittle and crack. Eco friendly so perhaps wood and recycled parts.

    Reasonable price for something that won’t be used constantly.

    Something that looks bright and contemporary so that it’s not seen as too ‘uncool’ for youngsters to be asked to use it to help parents clear up.

    Good guests who don't make a mess or put their rubbish in the bin as they go along would be ideal. 
    Where my sister lives the recycling boxes for plastics, glass, tins/cans and paper/cardboard come on a kind of trolley that could be wheeled into the garden if needed for a party. Something like that which was cheap enough and robust enough for the less enlightened councils to provide for everyone would be great for year-round use, not just for party rubbish collection.
    I'd be more concerned about preventing damage to the grass and other plants,
