ABSTRACT:
A device for retrieving litter items from the ground. The litter retrieval device eliminates the need for bending over to lift the litter items and includes a spike that could be used to pierce the item to be lifted. Because spikes can be dangerous if exposed all the time, the spike of the litter retrieval device of the present invention is retractable. In addition, because litter pickup is often best accomplished in the early morning hours before the heat of the day makes working outside undesirable, the litter retrieval device includes an illumination mechanism to provide illumination to the pointed tip area of the spike to allow the user to positively identify the litter item before it is pierced with the spike.
