A combined device is designed for multiple purposes including: hauling and dumping, bagging lawn and garden debris, and simultaneously carrying gardening tools and supplies. The device includes a wheelbarrow device with a container that lifts from its rear and flips forward from a horizontal position to beyond vertical about a pivot point elevated by supports or braces such that the combined device can remain level with the ground while it is being emptied and thereby the combined device can stably maintain a load of gardening tools and supplies.

1. A lawn and garden device combining a wheelbarrow device with a gardening cart device having a container for hauling or dumping debris or loose material,a frame for supporting said container from underneath, and a wheel connected to said frame in a manner that renders said lawn and garden device mobile across a surface, wherein the improvement comprises:a) holding means attached to said frame for carrying a plurality of lawn and gardening tools and supplies;b) a fulcrum device connected to said container by an attaching means in a manner that allows said container to be pivoted over said fulcrum device for said debris or loose material from said container to be directed into a means for disposing of debris; andc) elevating means whereby said fulcrum device attaches by said attaching means to said frame in a manner that permits said holding means to remain stable and level with said surface while said container is being emptied whereby a plurality of lawn and gardening tools or supplies mounted on said holding means stay in place as the lawn and garden device is being emptied;d) wherein said container is shaped in a manner that permits said means for disposing of debris to be fitted snuggly around an opening of said container such that said means for disposing of debris can be filled with the debris or loose materials of said container when said container is pivoted over said fulcrum device;e) wherein said frame comprises longitudinal supports or poles aligned in a substantially horizontal manner and in turn support said wheel in a manner that enables said lawn and garden device to be rolled about said surface and, by supporting footers, separate from said wheel, which further support said poles substantially horizontally in a generally inclining manner from front to rear;f) wherein said holding means for carrying a plurality of lawn and gardening tools comprise a multiple rack or bracket or support device arranged to attach and to connect to an outward facing side of said poles and in so doing maintain, hold, or carry lawn and gardening tools of various lengths in a manner parallel with said poles at a height sufficient to maintain adequate clearance of said tools above said surface;g) wherein said holding means for carrying a plurality of lawn and gardening tools further comprise said multiple rack or bracket or support device of sufficient width and strength to support either a handle end or an implement end of the lawn or gardening tool;h) wherein said multiple rack or bracket or support device is fixedly attached to said poles at the front end of said poles, near the wheel, and adjustably connected to said poles at the rear or near the back end of said lawn and garden device in a manner that will permit said holding means to be moved longitudinally along said poles in order to accommodate the tools of varying lengths. 2. A lawn and garden device as defined in claim 1 further comprising a pivot hinge assembly supported above said poles and said wheel, and attached to said container above said poles and above said wheel in a manner that permits said container to be pivoted over said pivot hinge assembly thereby flipping said container from horizontal to vertical with respect to said surface. 3. A lawn and garden device as defined in claim 2 wherein said pivot hinge assembly is elevated such that the plurality of lawn and gardening tools being carried on said tool holding means remain stable and generally level with respect to said surface while said container is being dumped or emptied. 4. A lawn and garden device as defined in claim 3 comprising a tray and basket rack device containing slots, trays, or cavities susceptible of receiving by insertion, supporting in a shelf-like manner, holding or otherwise generally securing in a non-attaching manner said lawn and gardening tools and supplies in a manner sufficient to hold said tools or supplies in place while said lawn and garden device is either being rolled around said surface or being emptied. 5. A lawn and garden device as defined in claim 4 further comprising said tray and basket rack device attaching to said poles at the back end of said lawn and garden device, behind said container, and further attaching thereto by means of clipping devices extending from either side of said tray and basket rack device in a manner that snaps at least a portion of said clipping devices around the top and sides of said poles. 6. A lawn and garden device as defined in claim 5 further comprising a bag holding device, extending rearward from said tray and basket rack device in a manner that permits said bag holding device to maintain for dispensing from a roll or a box, trash bags as may be used with the container. 7. A lawn and garden device comprising:a) a container for carrying, hauling, and dumping debris or loose landscaping materials having a rear section;b) a frame and wheel supporting said container in a manner that allow said container to be movably pushed across a surface;c) a pivoting device connecting said frame to said container in a manner that permits said container to be inclined from said rear section forward in an arching manner, said manner sufficient to essentially empty said container;d) tool racks connected to said frame for holding or carrying a variety of gardening tools and supplies, said tool racks comprising:i) a front rack incorporated therein by molding or welding and shaped with notches for carrying the gardening tools; andii) a rear rack correspondingly notched with said front rack;iii) wherein said front rack and said rear rack are connected to said frame in a manner that allows said rear rack to be moved and secured at varying positions along said frame in a manner that allows said front and rear racks to carry tools of varying lengths; ande) means for supporting said pivoting device in a manner that permits said container to be inclined from said rear section to be emptied while said frame, said wheel, and said tool racks remain stable and level with respect to said surface. 8. The lawn and garden device of claim 7 wherein said container comprises an open end shaped in such a manner as may be fitted into a garbage disposal receptacle. 9. The lawn and garden device of claim 7 wherein said frame incorporates the pivoting device for emptying said container of the debris or loose landscaping material in a manner permitting said frame to remain stationary so that said front rack and said rear rack, and said tools mounted thereon remain stable and stationary. 10. A lawn and garden device as defined in claim 9 further comprising an implement holding device containing slots, trays, or cavities susceptible of receiving by insertion, supporting in a shelf-like manner, holding or otherwise generally securing in a non-attaching manner a plurality of lawn and gardening tools or supplies in a manner sufficient to hold said tools or supplies in place while said lawn and garden device is either being rolled around said surface or being emptied. 11. A lawn and garden device as defined in claim 10 further comprising a holding device, said holding device comprising two opposing “L” brackets mounted to said implement holding device for supporting a roll or box of garbage bags in a manner that permits the dispensing of said bags for use with the container.
