A collector device (1) includes an elongate handle portion (2) having at one end a loop portion (4) attached thereto. The loop portion supports a receptacle (12) which includes an upwardly facing, in use, deposition surface (16). The handle (2) and loop portions (4) are of a self supporting sheet material (6) and have a longitudinal fold (8) running along the length of the handle portion (2) and continuing across the loop portion (4). In use, the device may be deployed with the handle (2) and loop portions (4) held partially folded along the longitudinal fold (8) to provide increased rigidity and increased load bearing capacity, in cantilever, in comparison with a device where the handle and loop portions are held planar.
