Abstract: An article for safely handling and enclosing waste material is disclosed. The article includes a flexible glove member which is large enough for convenient insertion and removal of a human hand through an access opening. A continuous collar surrounds the access opening. A sealing strip is provided either on or adjacent the collar. To use the article, the user inserts a hand in the glove member and firmly grasps the waste material. The waste material is then pulled through the collar, thereby turning the article inside out to form a pouch enclosing the waste material. Finally, the sealing strip is utilized to seal the pouch, thereby creating a safe enclosure for disposal of the waste material.
