Sanitary tubular pet waste removal device

A sanitary tubular pet waste removal device comprising:

• a hollow proximal section with opposing first and second ends;
• and
• a hollow distal section that extends from the second end of the proximal section and is completely separable and removable from the proximal section, the distal section including:
• an interior that is adapted to temporarily hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter, and
• a generally spade-shaped scoop extending outwardly away from an inner side wall of the interior of the distal section;
• wherein the proximal and distal section are generally contiguous with one another when the distal section is connected to the proximal section such that the scoop is offset inwardly from and nestled generally flush against an inner side wall of the proximal section when the proximal and distal sections are connected to one another;
• and
• wherein the scoop is arranged to nest fully within the proximal section when the distal section is connected to the proximal section;
• and
• wherein the proximal and distal sections may be disconnected from one another and manipulated to remove fecal matter from a ground surface to the interior of the distal section.

A sanitary tubular pet waste removal device comprising:

• a proximal section, having one or more side walls and an end wall that collectively define a first receptacle portion that is adapted to hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter, and having opposing first and second ends with a hollow, tubular portion extending therebetween, wherein the first end is closed by the end wall and includes a handle, wherein the second end is open, and wherein the hollow tubular portion is closed on all other sides by the one or more side walls;
• and
• a hollow, tubular distal section, having one or more side walls and an end wall that collectively define a second receptacle portion that is adapted to hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter, and having first and second ends with a hollow, tubular portion extending therebetween, wherein the first end is closed by the end wall, wherein the second end is open, wherein the hollow tubular portion is closed on all other sides by the one or more side walls, and wherein the distal section is completely separable and removable from the proximal section;
• wherein the second end of the distal section attaches at the second end of the proximal section when the distal and proximal sections are attached together;
• wherein the distal and proximal sections are contiguous with one another when attached together;
• wherein a side wall of at least one of the distal section and the proximal section includes a scoop extending therefrom and arranged to be offset from and nestled flush against an inner side wall of the opposing section when the distal section is connected to the proximal section;
• and
• wherein the proximal and distal sections may be disconnected from one another and manipulated to remove fecal matter from a ground surface to the interior of the distal section.
