A poop-scooper comprising:

• a handle;
• a cleat for a dog leash;
• a shell piece attached to the handle, wherein the shell piece includes a plurality of grooved-recesses and at least one central aperture and at least one magnet and corresponding metal strip,
• wherein the shell piece further comprises
• a top,
• a bottom, and
• a first side, comprising:
• a cartridge base piece comprising at least one slot,
• wherein the cartridge base piece is substantially a half-cardboard-box comprising a base and a top,
• wherein,
• fixed substantially-parallel poop-collecting toothpick-style poop-pickup sticks are positioned at the box top to form a grated lid;
• a plurality of retainers for retaining the cartridge base piece within the shell piece;
• at least one vertical guide post with a slanted top for positioning the cartridge base piece;
• and then a second shell side, comprising:
• a cartridge top, similarly shaped as a half cardboard box, comprising at least one tab to fit into the cartridge base's slot, such that the cartridge base and top pieces join to form a substantially square poop-filled inner cartridge box to be ejected by exerting force through the shell's aperture.

A waste removal device comprising:

• a substantially rigid, modular outer two-part detachable shell piece, wherein the shell piece itself comprises one lid side and one base side, further comprising
• a substantially central aperture on each side;
• a plurality of retainers for securely holding a disposable cartridge piece within the shell piece;
• a plurality of guiders and grooved-recesses;
• a magnet and matching ferrous metal strip;
• wherein the two-part detachable shell piece is substantially comprised of
• a first lid shell piece, which houses a removable pliable inner cartridge lid piece featuring at least one substantially shaped arrow shaped locking tab;
• a second base shell piece, which houses a removable semi-pliable inner cartridge base piece featuring substantially parallel poop-gathering sticks,
• and at least one slot to receive the cartridge lid's arrow shaped tab,
• such that when the shell lid and the shell base are aligned and joined,
• the inner cartridge lid and cartridge base pieces may be tab-locked by pushing the cartridge lid and cartridge base together by exerting force on the cartridge lid through the shell's aperture, therein pushing the cartridge lid's arrow tab into the cartridge base's slot,
• therein joining the inner cartridge lid and cartridge base to form a single poop-filled cartridge box, which may be ejected by exerting force on the box through the shell base piece's central aperture.
