Abstract: A cylindrical receptacle has an open front end and a closed rear end. A handle leads rigidly from a side wall of the receptacle in a lateral direction at approximately 45.degree. from the longitudinal plane of the receptacle. In one embodiment the receptacle has longitudinal side openings of a length greater than one-half the length of the receptacle and of a dimension to hold scooped articles but to allow foreign material to fall or be shaken out. Another embodiment of the invention has a front fluted edge. In yet another embodiment, the receptacle has a closed side wall and the connection between the handle and the receptacle provides communication between the handle and the receptacle. In this embodiment the handle has a fitting at its free end for a garden hose whereby the receptacle can be cleaned by pressured water flowing through the handle.
