A collapsible grabber device, comprises a telescoping pole; a jaw assembly at the distal end of the pole comprising two jaws movably coupled by a pivot for releasably gripping an object in a closed position, a handle at the proximal end configured to house the telescoping pole and the jaw assembly in the collapsed state; a lever on handle for controlling the jaw assembly; a spring within the jaw assembly for biasing the jaws in either an open position or a closed position; and a cable coupling the jaw assembly and the lever. Advantages of the grabber include compactness, concealability, higher usage rates, collapsibility/extendibility, ruggedness, precision and attractiveness.

One example embodiment is a waste collection and storage device, comprising: (a) a disposable container with a body and a base; (b) a plurality of panels extended from the base, each of the panels has a panel distal end extending away from the body, the panel distal ends of the panels pointing inwardly and defining an opening therebetween in an open state; and (c) at least one locking mechanism disposed on at least one of the panels. When a force is applied on the body to the panel distal ends against a target surface having a waste, the panel distal ends move inwards towards each other and in turn close up the opening to form a closed state, and the body and the panels together create a cavity, such that the waste can be scooped up from the target surface and accommodated within the cavity. The locking mechanism locks the panels in the closed state to store the waste within the cavity. Other example embodiments are described herein. In certain embodiments, the waste collection and storage device is simple in structure and cost-efficient in manufacturing.

A dog waste bag dispenser device includes: a frame with a roll opening and an elongated opening, an axle assembly, a lower frame, and a bag clip with a slit; such that the waste bag dispenser device holds a dog waste bag roll, such that the dog waste bag dispenser device enables a user to easily remove a dog waste bag from the dog waste bag roll. The dog waste bag dispenser device also includes an attachment ring, which is configured to attach the dog waste bag dispenser device to an article of clothing or an object for easy portability.

A waste collection system, method, and apparatus comprises a handle assembly comprising a stand tube, a handle, and a controller; and a waste collection assembly comprising a housing, a waste slide container, and a sliding arm bar operably connected to a waste catch with a linear actuator, wherein the waste catch is configured to draw waste into the waste slide container.

A waste picking, storage, and disposal device includes a housing, a handle, gripping elements, a pull system, and an end cap. The gripping elements are radially hinged to a lower end of the housing. The pull system moves axially within a through-hole of the housing. The pull system includes a pull lever; a hollow chamber for storing disposable bags; braces radially hinged to a lower end of the hollow chamber and connected to the gripping elements; and a bag dispenser for dispensing a disposable bag. When the pull lever is operated axially in opposing directions, the lower end of the hollow chamber with the bag dispenser moves axially within an internal space defined by the gripping elements wrapped by the disposable bag, and via the braces, causes the wrapped gripping elements to open and close for picking, encapsulating, and storing pet waste within the disposable bag for subsequent disposal.

Pet waste disposal bags and a method of manufacturing pet waste disposal bags are disclosed. The pet waste disposal bag includes a body having an opening configured to provide entry to an interior space sized for at least a hand of the user. The body is biodegradable and includes one or more sanitizing components affixed. Upon sanitation or cleansing of the applicable surface or substance, the disposal bag is configured to be inverted allowing the one or more sanitizing components to be housed within the interior space.

An apparatus to scoop debris from a surface is described. The apparatus comprises a trolley frame, a first and second wheels coupled to a first and second gear assemblies and designed to rotate in a first direction of rotation. The first and second gear assemblies are coupled to a opposite sides of the trolley frame. The apparatus further comprises an axle coupled to the trolley frame, using the first gear assembly and the second gear assembly, wherein the axle is configured to rotate in a second direction opposite to the first direction of rotation of the first wheel and the second wheel. A plurality of parallel spokes is attached to the axle that rotate with the axle, wherein each of the plurality of spokes are bent at an angle at their respective ends. A detachable debris collection net is coupled to the trolley frame.

A portable pet waste collection device which overcomes issues involved with collecting and carrying pet waste when a refuse container is not close by. A lid portion connects to an expandable body portion. A bag dispenser is retained in the lid area through which a user obtains a bag prior to collection. The body portion of the device can be kept in a collapsed state prior to collection, and expanded for receiving a bag of waste. The device conveniently retains the waste bags until proper disposal facilities are available.

A vacuum and container assembly is provided for collecting and disposing of dog poop. The vacuum includes a housing with an inlet tube or nozzle. The container assembly includes an outer sleeve and an inner flexible, air permeable bag. The sleeve is open at the rear end so as to fit over the vacuum nozzle, with the bag residing in the nozzle. The front end of the container assembly is temporary closed by flexible fingers. When the vacuum is turned on, the dog poop is suctioned past the fingers into the bag, without touching the vacuum housing or nozzle. The container assembly can then be removed from the nozzle and deposited in a waste receptacle for disposal.
