A disposal system comprising a temporary, disposal work surface covering of substantially flat, flexible sheet material, such as extruded plastic or the like, having cinch means incorporated therein. While the preferred embodiment of the present invention is exemplified as a disposable tablecloth, the invention is useful in a variety of applications, including lawn care, garbage collection, and any use which requires traditional garbage bags, but at a significant decrease in disposal effort and expense. An alternative embodiment of the invention teaches a tablecloth or the like having a upwardly extended, peripherally surrounding, raised edge areas for preventing liquids from spilling onto the users. Likewise, incorporated therein is a cinch strap system for enveloping the contained refuse. The lifted or raised edge as contemplated may comprise merely a plastic ridge, or, preferably, a multitude of “accordion”folds formed from the plastic sheeting forming the main, centrally located surface of the device, with the cinch strap system being incorporated into the top of the fold area. The present invention is particularly suitable for utilization as a tablecloth in conjunction with the consumption of seafoods such as crayfish, crabs, oysters, shrimp and the like, which generate a large amount of refuse during the meal. The system as disclosed allows disposal of the tablecloth, simultaneously creating a container for disposal of the contents. When cinched, the present invention may be handled as a conventional plastic garbage bag, and therefore does not require a separate garbage container for disposal.
