An apparatus for collecting and temporarily storing animal waste such as dog droppings includes a portable storage container with a pivoting lid movable between an open position and a closed position to keep contents dry. The container is adapted to receive and secure thereto a removable liner bag for easy disposal of the waste. A handle attached to the container pivots the lid open and closed with one position exposing the interior space from above for ease of adding and removing liner bags. A removable waste scooper is suspended from an outer wall of the container. The user need only touch the handle and a scooper when depositing droppings into the bag. The lid extends over an upper mouth of the container to prevent water from rain or sprinklers from seeping into the inner space. Custom compostable liner bags may be provided with lobes that are captured within bag retainers on front and rear walls.

The present invention relates to a novel device and method for the retention of bags containing pet waste. The device is suitable for attachment to most types of pet leashes. The device consists of a single piece of material that is retained via friction to the leash, and which features a channel for the easy insertion and retaining of knotted bags of pet waste.

A scooper assembly has a scoop container attached to the end of a hiking stick and a bag-retainer for retaining a roil of waste collection bags. The container is configured with a set of teeth that extend out from the bottom of the inlet opening and an outlet opening on the back of the container is configured for dumping feces from the container. The container is configured to retain a bag around the back outlet opening. The bag-retainer has a slot for pulling the end of the roll of bags therethrough, bag-teeth to aid in tearing a bag off from the roll, and a cleat and tray for holding a filled bag. A light-mount is configured to allow positioning of a light in any direction and a detachable rake may be alternately used to collect feces. A receptacle for personal articles and for pepper spray is provided.

A narrow channel created by one or more channel walls. The channel is engineered with narrow dimensions so as to carry out its function of supporting small bags filled with waste. The channel may be formed as a single body, attached to another body, or formed or incorporated into another body or device, such as, but not limited to, animal leashes, retractable animal leashes, pet waste bag dispensers, pet harnesses, and pooper scoopers. Bags containing animal waste may be inserted into the channel. The bags may be supported by the channel. Additional small bodies including but not limited to rings or cord loops may be inserted into and supported by the channel.

An animal waste storage pouch; the animal waste storage pouch includes a pouch-body, a fastening-mechanism and at least one bag. The animal waste storage pouch attaches to a pet collar, leash, harness, etc. and therefore attaches the animal waste storage pouch to a pet. This enables the pet to carry and store bagged waste until a convenient location is reached to dispose of the bagged waste.

A pet refuse collection apparatus, and methods of use of the pet refuse collection apparatus, including a pet refuse bag supported by a fixture that allows the bag to be positioned underneath the pet to catch the refuse. A frame supports a refuse bag and may be manipulated with a single hand of a user while the frame supports a dispensed pet refuse bag in a position conducive to collecting pet refuse and additionally supports undispensed bags and stores a dispensed bag containing pet refuse.

A method and system to facilitate animal waste clean-up and temporary storage for transport to a waste receptacle. A container contains a bendable body which is attached to a mesh pouch. A filled waste bag can be inserted inside the mesh pouch, and the container can be rolled up into a compact device. The container is configured to slide along (both up and down) a leash used to walk the dog. Thus, the dog walker can fill a waste bag with solid waste from the dog, knot it, open the container, put the waste bag in the pouch, seal the container up, and then the container would (when filled with a waste bag) automatically slide down the leash towards the dog due to gravity. The dog walker can then continue walking the dog in a more dignified manner with the container conveniently attached to the leash.
