Abstract
An animal waste disposal device. The device includes a body which has both a first wall and a second wall that rotate about a hinge integrally formed within the body. The device also has an arcuate shaped handle that is attached to the body and biases the walls into an open position. The walls hold a detachable disposable bag that collects the animal waste. The user can manipulate the walls to collect and capture the animal waste within the bag. The device may have a locking tab that cooperates with an aperture in the body to lock the walls in the closed position and seal the contents of the bag.
