Abstract: Device for the removal of animal droppings comprising a container open at the front, having an upstanding lip along its front bottom edge from which forwardly extends a curved ramp adapted to rest on the surface to be cleaned. A scraping and scooping member is pivotally mounted so as to scrape the animal droppings off the grass or the like in front of the container and scoop the same within the container along the ramp and past the upstanding lip. In its closed position, the combined scraping and scooping member seals the open end of the container. The container is carried from the upper end of an upstanding handle, rigidly secured thereto; a second handle is pivoted to the first one and to the combined scraping and scooping member to pivot the same between closed and open positions. A tension coil spring resiliently maintains the member in closed container-sealing position.
