ABSTRACT:
A scoop for gathering leaves, cut grass, or debris in disposable bags provides a walled scoop having an interior bore which communicates with two open end portions. One of the end portions is used to receive leaves such as by raking, for example, while the other end portion attaches to a flexible, disposable bag such as a plastic bag or the like. The scoop has a generally flat lower surface which is adapted to contact the ground as during the transfer of leaves, cut grass, and/or debris into the scoop. A scoop handle is affixed to the upper surface of the scoop so that pressure can be applied to the scoop during loading. A bracket is positioned on the upper surface of the scoop adjacent the handle and extending toward the open end portion of the scoop which is receptive of the plastic disposable bag. A flexible strap having end portions with hooks can encircle the scoop after a plastic bag has been assembled about one open end of the scoop. The flexible strap has hooks on its end portions. A releasable connection is formed between the hooks on the end portions of the flexible strap and the bracket. The bracket provides an opening which attaches to one of the hooks and a recess which attaches to the other end of the strap at one of the hooks. Thus the strap encircles the scoop so that when connected to the bracket it can secure a disposable bag to be filled.
