Abstract: A foldable hand held scoop which is particularly suitable for picking up animal fecal waste. The scoop is formed from a substantially flat semi-rigid material, such as, for example, cardboard which may be easily folded into a functional configuration by utilizing score lines. In the flat configuration, the scoop may be easily transported and/or stored. The scoop has a bottom panel, a rear panel, two side panels, a handle and an opening section. Further, the scoop has a removable section that aids the user in scooping up the waste into the opening section of the scoop. The scoop may be inexpensive to manufacture and, therefore, suitable for disposal after one or few uses.
