Abstract
A device for picking-up, containing and removing of malleable wastes is provided. Primarily, the wastes considered are animal fecal matter. The disposable portion of this device is comprised of a mesh element formed into a compartment to contain entrapped feces. Feces are picked up by pressing the matter through the mesh element and into the compartment. Shielding means are provided to retain the fecal matter. A wrapping means such as a bag may be used to further insure containment for disposal into waste bins and the like. An extension handle member with an ejector mechanism is adapted to allow for remote operation of the device.
