Craftsman 42 in. High Speed Sweeper Review

I purchased a lawn sweeper several years ago from Sears, and it had a removable hopper on it that worked well. Now with the new one I purchased recently I cannot remove it easily. So now I cannot dump it into my recycle bins which a lot of people use. I was thinking that since it was newer it would be easier to remove, which is not the case. Removing this hopper is quite difficult for me and I would predict that would be the case for most people. I don't think people would want to scoop or dump out the grass on the ground and then place it into the recycle bins. Thank You.
