An apparatus for collection and removal of animal waste is disclosed. The collection apparatus may have a plurality of panels connected with one another by a plurality of hinges. The plurality of panels of the collection apparatus may be manipulated by a user to move the collection apparatus from a collapsed position to an expanded position. In the expanded position, a bag may line the interior of the plurality of panels to collect the animal waste. A user can then manipulate the animal waste into the bag lining the collection apparatus. The bag containing the animal waste may then be secured to the collection apparatus by way of panel clip for later disposal.

Disclosed is a kit of parts for forming a gripping tool. The kit of parts includes two arms shaped as sheets, each arm having a distal gripping section and a proximal handle section. The distal gripping section has a frame encompassing a window. The first and second arms each include a mobile connection at respective proximal ends, which is configured to connect the arms together such that they face each other. At least one of the arms, in the handle section, comprises an abutment feature protruding from a plane connecting a distal edge and a proximal edge of the arm and provided on a face of the arm intended to face the other arm. A gripping tool assembled from the kit of parts is intended to be used in connection with a bag, such as, for example, a bag commonly used for disposing animal feces.

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.

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.

A portable ground picking collector includes a picking tool having two picking portions and a control arrangement equipped with a disposable bag. The disposable bag is constructed by two bag layers to define a storage cavity and an opening. The control arrangement is configured to detachably hold at the picking portions of the picking tool at the bag layers respectively. When the picking tool is actuated to move the picking portions thereof away from each other, the opening of the disposable bag is opened up for receiving ground waste in the storage cavity. When the picking tool is actuated to move the picking portions thereof toward each other for picking up the ground waste, the opening of the disposable bag is closed to retain the ground waste in the storage cavity, such that the disposable bag is detached from the picking tool for disposing the ground waste in the disposable bag.

A waste collector includes a bag body and a waste collecting apparatus. The bag body, which is made of flexible material, has a top opening and a waste collecting cavity. The waste collecting apparatus includes two elongated scraper arms spacedly affixed at the bag body to partition the bag body into a first bag portion and a second bag portion. When the bag body is reversibly flipped inside out from the top opening to form a temporary waste cavity within the first bag portion of the bag body, the scraper arms are moved toward each other for enclosing the temporary waste cavity within the first bag portion of the bag body and for scraping a waste within the temporary waste cavity. Therefore, the bag body is flipped back for automatically retaining the waste in the waste collecting cavity from the temporary waste cavity.

A feces collection assembly for collecting feces from a variety of surfaces includes a pair of tongs that are each manipulated thereby facilitating the tongs to selectively grasp feces on a surface. The tongs have a plurality of gripping edges and each of the gripping edges has a unique structure with respect to each other. Each of the gripping edges engages the feces on selected variety of support surfaces. In this way the feces may be removed from a variety of support surfaces.

A pet waste vacuum and disposal device is disclosed herein. The device advantageously takes the form of a walking stick fabricated using phosphorescent plastic materials to aid a pet owner taking a pet for a walk at night. The pet waste vacuum and disposal device integrally includes a vacuum which is operable via a button located conveniently on the outside of the walking stick. The pet waste vacuum and disposal device further includes a waste collection compartment adapted to receive a bag. During use, the pet owner positions a mouth of a waste intake over pet waste, activates the vacuum, and the waste is collected inside the bag for clean and sanitary disposal thereof.

A waste collection device including a compartment for receiving pet waste or other waste. The device is attached to the end of a leaf blower, hand vacuum, or other device which provides suction. Accessories may be included which allow universal mounting to most or all types of vacuums and leaf blowers. A removable filter bag may be included for cleaner removal of waste.
