Abstract
A glove-like waste disposal system comprises a relatively thick, heat-insulating, flexible inner glove which is placed over the hand of a user. An outer glove is then placed over the inner glove, the outer glove being made of a thin, flexible, disposable material. In use, the waste material is picked up by the user whose hand is contained within the inner glove, the outer glove is peeled or stripped off to an inside-out pouch-forming configuration which contains the picked-up waste material therein, and the outer glove with the waste material therein is disposed. The inner glove is reusable, and serves to insulate the user's hand from the temperature and "feel" of the waste material. Absorbant layers may be attached to the inner (palm) or outer (back of hand) side of the outer flexible disposable glove to absorb moisture.
