ABSTRACT:
A portable pet waste collection and disposal device. The portable device comprises a nested wand, where the nested wand has an actuator, a lower end and an upper end. The nested wand has a normal tendency to fully extend itself upon activation by the actuator during deployment of the portable device. The portable device also comprises a prong unit, where the prong unit has a pair of prongs, a first hinge and a second hinge. The first hinge has a normal tendency to spread the prongs, with the second hinge normally tending to rotate the prong unit away from the lower end of the nested wand. The first hinge and second hinge controllably rotate in substantially perpendicular relation to each other. The portable device further comprises a slider coupled to the prong unit, with the slider controllably causing the second hinge to rotate back toward the lower end when the slider is released by the actuator on the nested wand at a first end. The slider has a retainer bracket at a second end for retaining the spreading of the pair of prongs during deployment of the portable device. The portable device further has a disposable bag with a folded rim around the bag's opening, where the folded rim is adapted to receive the prongs. The disposable bag has a drawstring around its opening for controllably tightening the opening upon collection of the pet waste.
