The invention claimed is: 1. An insert apparatus for a preexisting cart having a base surface and side walls defining a containment area, comprising: a support structure having a base portion and a containment portion with an inner area, the base portion configured to operatively engage the preexisting cart, wherein the containment portion comprises a plurality of elongated vertically-extending connector elements having a length and a plurality of horizontally-extending connector elements arranged and attached to thereby create an upstanding support structure, and the base portion includes a plurality of elongated horizontally-extending connector elements configured for sliding engagement with one another such that the base portion is adjustable by a user, thereby allowing the insert apparatus to be re-sized to operatively engage a plurality of variably-sized preexisting carts; and at least one retaining element directly attached between at least two spaced elongated connector elements substantially along the length thereof, thereby creating at least one retaining wall configured to retain a material within the inner area of the containment portion of the support structure, wherein the base portion of the support structure is configured to rest upon the base surface and within the containment area of the preexisting cart, an open area configured to correspond to the confinement area of the preexisting cart is provided between the base portion and a bottom edge of the at least one retaining wall and at least a portion of the base portion of the support structure is configured to contact at least one of the side walls of the preexisting cart, thereby preventing the support structure from sliding or tipping while the cart is in motion. 2. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the connector elements are at least one of tubes, pipes, arms, braces and longitudinally extending members. 3. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the connector elements are manufactured from at least one of plastic, a polymer, metal, semi-metal, a synthetic material and wood. 4. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the connector elements are removably attachable to each other, such that the support structure is capable of assembly and disassembly by a user. 5. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the retaining element is a netting material. 6. The insert apparatus of claim 5, wherein the netting material is stretched across a portion of the containment portion of the support structure, thereby creating at least one retaining wall configured to retain the material within the inner area of the containment portion. 7. The insert apparatus of claim 5, wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of connector elements arranged and attached to thereby create an upstanding support structure, and wherein the netting material is stretched across at least two spaced connector elements, thereby creating at least one netting material retaining wall. 8. The insert apparatus of claim 5, wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of connector elements arranged and attached to thereby create an upstanding support structure having a plurality of support structure side portions, and wherein the netting material is stretched across a plurality of spaced connector elements, thereby creating a plurality of netting material retaining walls. 9. The insert apparatus of claim 5, wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of connector elements arranged and attached to thereby create an upstanding support structure having four support structure side portions, and wherein the netting material is stretched across a plurality of spaced connector elements, thereby creating a plurality of netting material retaining walls. 10. The insert apparatus of claim 9, wherein the netting material is stretched across a plurality of spaced elements, thereby creating three netting material retaining walls and one open side portion configured to permit the insertion and withdrawal of the material to and from the inner area of the support structure. 11. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the retaining element is manufactured from at least one of plastic, a polymer, metal, semi-metal, a synthetic material and wood. 12. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the support structure further comprises at least one handle configured to allow a user to grasp the handle and manipulate the insert apparatus. 13. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein at least one of the support structure, the base portion and the containment portion is slidingly adjustable by a user. 14. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of connector elements arranged and attached to thereby create an upstanding support structure, wherein the connector elements are attachable to each other via at least one fitting element. 15. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the material is at least one of grass, grass clippings, leaves, mulch, dirt, soil, plants, trees, outdoor items, at least one object, at least one item, clothes and materials. 16. The insert apparatus of claim 1, wherein the preexisting cart is at least one of a yard cart, a pull cart, an attachable cart, a tractor cart, an all-terrain vehicle cart, a wagon, a transportable vehicle, a wheeled vehicle and a pullable structure. 17. A kit for an insert apparatus for use in connection with a preexisting cart having a base surface and side walls defining a containment area, the kit comprising: a plurality of elongated vertically-extending connector elements having a length and arrangeable and attachable to thereby create an upstanding support structure having a containment portion and a base portion; and at least one retaining element directly attachable between at least two spaced elongated connector elements substantially along the length thereof, thereby creating at least one retaining wall configured to retain a material within an inner area of the containment portion of the support structure, wherein the base portion of the upstanding support structure is configured to rest upon the base surface and within the containment area of the preexisting cart, the base portion comprising a plurality of elongated horizontally-extending connector elements configured for sliding engagement with one another such that the base portion is adjustable by a user, thereby allowing the insert apparatus to be re-sized to operatively engage a plurality of variably-sized preexisting carts, wherein an open area configured to correspond to the confinement area of the preexisting cart is provided between the base portion and a bottom edge of the at least one retaining wall and at least a portion of the base portion of the upstanding support structure is configured to contact at least one side wall of the preexisting cart.
