Abstract: An animal waste collection device allows collection of waste into a bag without soiling a user. The animal waste collection device comprises an elongated handle that comprises an actuator assembly at one end; a pick-up and collection device disposed at the other end of the elongated handle and a pick-up and collection device disposed at an end of the elongated handle from the actuator assembly. The pick-up and collection device comprising movable collection members movably connected to an elongated base member. A linkage is operably connected to the actuator assembly and extends between the actuator assembly and the pick-up and collection device. A transmission element is operably connected to the linkage at the pick-up and collection device and is operably connected to the movable collection members for transmitting movement to move each of the movable collection members between open and closed movable collection members positions.

Abstract: The invention sets forth a bag for an animal waste collection device. The bag is formed from a blank of plastic material, and comprises a middle section panel, a back panel, and a pocket front flap section. The bag defines a collection pocket formed by the front panel and back panel to accommodate waste collected from an animal waste collection device. The animal waste collection device collects animal waste from the bag at the pocket adapted to receive an animal waste collection device and the collection pocket accepts collected waste from the pocket adapted to receive an animal waste collection device.
