Abstract: A device for picking up rubbish and debris and removal of the rubbish and debris into a proper receptacle without the necessity for the operator of the device to touch the rubbish and debris. The shaft has a handle at one end, a pointed tip at the other end and a sleeve slidably engaged on the shaft to cause removal of the debris and rubbish collected on the pointed tip. When a locking and release mechanism located near the handle on the shaft is released, the sleeve causes removal of the rubbish and debris when it slides down the shaft and over the tip.

Abstract: An apparatus for engaging onto a shouldered container, the apparatus having a pair of triangulated portions wherein the base of each triangulated portion is an inwardly disposed lip for engagement beneath the shoulder of a shouldered carrier, and the top portions of each triangulated portion making contact with the container shoulder itself. There is further provided a downward disposed member which would engage the inside surface of the shoulder portion so that the shouldered portion is firmly held between each triangulated portion and each downward disposed member. Each triangulated portion would be integrally attached to a handle carrier which overall would define substantially a U-shaped handle, wherein the container could then be lifted through grasping of the U-shaped handle across the horizontally disposed portion of the U.
