Abstract
A low cost scoop device for scooping animal waste or other loose material. The scoop contains a disposable bag having an open end. The bag is held open by a collapsible paperboard frame of a unique configuration. The paperboard frame has a bottom element, a first side element, a second side element and a handle structure. When the paperboard frame is in a deployed configuration, the bottom edge, first side edge and second side edge form a triangular frame with a triangular central opening. The triangular frame holds open the open end of the bag. When the paperboard frame is in a folded configuration, the bottom edge, first side edge and the second side edge lay flat atop one another in a compact folded package.
