A hollow cylindrical scoop-shaped device facilitates scooping of solid and semi-solid refuse off hard ground or vegetation covered ground through manipulation of the device by a directly attached handle or by an extended handle. The refuse scooped is collected in a detachably attached trailing disposable conventional paper sack. A clamp secures any sized opening paper sack and a guard about the bottom of the device receives the lower edge of the sack to prevent tearing and/or wetting thereof during use of the device.
