Abstract
A device for retrieving and disposing of pet feces is provided which includes a bag formed of flexible sheet material having an open end and a closed end. A tray having a bottom panel is attached to the closed end of the bag. The panel has a central score line, which forms a hinge line and side walls hingedly connected to each side of the panel on opposite sides of the score line. The side walls are pivotable, from a transportation and storage position folded against the bottom panel, to a use position normal to the panel. Thus the tray can be manipulated manually from within the bag to retrieve pet feces, and the bag subsequently inverted thereover to enclose the tray and the feces therein.
