ABSTRACT:
An animal waste collection and disposal device, adapted for use with disposable bags with handles, includes an elongated handle portion and a shovel portion adjustably attached thereto. The shovel portion includes an elongated, open-ended chute portion, a sifting portion extending at an acute angle from the chute and having a plurality of openings for removal of kennel gravel and dirt, and a lifting edge, which preferably includes a plurality of teeth for aiding in lifting the waste out of grass or other uneven terrain, which may extend at a second acute angle from the sifting portion. A pair of sidewalls extend along the longitudinal edges of the shovel portion, thereby preventing the animal waste from falling off of the shovel. The shovel is attached to the handle using a plurality of brackets and retention sleeves. The sleeves may be tightened about the handle, preferably with set screws. For collection of the waste from the shovel, the handles of a disposable bag are looped around one of the set screws and the bag is expanded about the chute portion, and particularly its open end, such that the waste drops into the bag from the chute portion after sliding through the entire length of the shovel.
