A mitt-like disposable glove for collecting and disposing of pet excrement or other waste is shown. The mitt-like glove is constructed of layers of impermeable polymeric material, with the front surface of the glove substantially covered with a thicker material that may be absorbent. The mitt-like glove may be made of materials that are compostable, biodegradable, anti-microbial and/or scented. Designed along the glove edges is a strip of material that can be used as a tie, or an adhesive strip which can be used to seal the top of the glove with the cut-outs of the handle. The mitt-like glove is capable of being everted over solid waste material, a contaminated article, or other refuse to enclose such material, and the attached tie may be utilized to close the access opening so that the mitt-like glove may function as a disposal bag for the refuse. The mitt-like glove has a cut out portion at the wrist area of the glove that may be used to carry the bag after it is filled.
