Method and apparatus including a scoop having an elongated frame with handle at the top for manipulating the the bottom of the scoop along the ground at the location of excrement to be scooped. The frame includes a bifurcated double pole section to which a disposable bag may be attached. The bag has an opening which faces the front of a rotatable paddle located at the end of the single pole part of the frame. The rotatable paddle is operated via a switch located adjacent the top handle. A shield is positioned about the paddle to prevent excrement being directed rearwardly of the frame. The rotatable paddle includes at least one but preferably two and more preferably three paddles which are spaced about a central axle which itself extends perpendicular to the single pole part of the frame.

A waste bag dispensing and storing assembly for use while walking a pet includes a shell that defines an interior space. The shell has a top that is open. The top is configured to insert a used pet waste bag into the interior space. A lid is hingedly coupled to the shell proximate to the top. The lid is configured to selectively couple to the shell to close the top. A hole is positioned in the lid. The hole is configured to position an end bag of a roll of bags that is positioned in the interior space so that the end bag protrudes from the shell. The end bag is configured to be grasped in digits of a hand of a user to extract the end bag concurrently with positioning of an adjacent bag in the hole.

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 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.

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 pet waste bag retainer and organizer system that allows for a roll of bags to be retained by a tail portion of the system, wherein the tail puts an internal pressure on the cavity or core of the roll bags. The system further including a retaining portion for the carrying of used pet waste bag, thus helping the user to not have to carry the used pet waste bag until it can be disposed of. The retaining portion includes an opening designed to allowed a knotted bag to pass therethrough and down a retention slot having retention protrusion extending into the retention slot that helps secure the pet waste bag while transporting.

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.

A plastic bag dispenser device for dispensing feces bags with help from a moisture pad includes a tube. The tube has an aperture positioned on the side of the tube. The aperture provides an opening for a user to grab a canine feces bag. A lid is positioned on top of the tube. A compartment is attached to the top of the lid. The compartment defines a space for a moisture pad to be placed. The moisture pad wets the fingers of the user. A roll of bags is stored within the hollow interior of the tube. Each of the bags is coupled to each other by a perforation line. The user can separate each bag from the roll by pulling the bag from the perforation line. A snap hook clip is attached to the exterior of the tube and is used for attaching the tube to a canine leash.

Method and apparatus including a scoop having an elongated frame with handle at the top for manipulating the the bottom of the scoop along the ground at the location of excrement to be scooped. The frame includes a bifurcated double pole section to which a disposable bag may be attached. The bag has an opening which faces the front of a rotatable paddle located at the end of the single pole part of the frame. The rotatable paddle is operated via a switch located adjacent the top handle. A shield is positioned about the paddle to prevent excrement being directed rearwardly of the frame. The rotatable paddle includes at least one but preferably two and more preferably three paddles which are spaced about a central axle which itself extends perpendicular to the single pole part of the frame.

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.
