Abstract: An apparatus for remotely cleaning an overhead gutter or the like and which includes an elongate pole, a pair of scoops pivotally mounted at the upper end of the pole, and a cord for selectively pivoting the scoops together to collect the debris therein. The scoops are relatively large, and they collectively form an enclosure of substantial volume upon being pivoted together to thereby permit the collection of a considerable amount of the debris upon each closing operation. Also, a pair of tines extend forwardly from each scoop to positively grasp any debris which may be between the scoops when the scoops are not able to be fully closed.
