Portable device for collecting and disposing pet waste

A method of implementing a portable device for picking up waste, comprising:

• providing a handle having a trigger, the trigger connected to a trigger rod that at least indirectly connects and controls a scooper;
• providing a housing downstream from the handle and within which the trigger rod is at least partially present, wherein the scooper has a retracted position in which the scooper is stored within the housing and a use position in which the scooper extends outside of the housing through a capture opening, wherein the scooper extends out of the capture opening in a linear direction relative to the trigger rod;
• an extender rod that at least indirectly extends from the handle and is adapted to move in a vertical motion to control the scooper between the retracted position and the use position;
• and
• attaching a discharge chute to the housing, the discharge chute being positioned in an off-linear location from the trigger rod, and the discharge chute at least partially aligns with the scooper when the scooper is in the retracted position.
