ABSTRACT:
Apparatus (including a frame and a bag), a preferred bag, and a method for packaging waste for disposal are disclosed. The frame fits into the bag at the open end of the bag. The frame has a central open area, and when waste material is placed on the outside of the bag corresponding to the open area of the frame, the waste material and the adjacent portion of the bag are pulled by gravity down through the open area of the frame. That pulls the bag tightly around the frame, which in turn facilitates the inversion of the bag as the bag is removed from the frame. Inversion of the bag results in the waste being trapped inside the bag, which may then be securely closed for disposal of the waste. The sizes and shapes of the frame and bag are not critical. The device finds particular use as a so-called "pooper scooper" for dogs.
