A scoop like frame releasably mounts a trailing plastic bag to pick up snow from the earth and transport it. The back of the bag is provided with a drawstring closure mechanism to open the bag for snow deposition after transport. The frame has an associated forwardly extending handle mechanism to aid transport and allow change of frame position between the scooping mode and transporting mode.

A manually operated tool for removal and transport of snow for disposition, comprising, in combination: a peripherally defined rigid scoop frame having a top interconnecting similar, substantially vertical sides and an elongate bottom element with a substantially planar downturned forward margin; a handle extending forwardly and upwardly from pivotal joinder with the scoop frame, the handle comprising similar elongate side elements pivotably communicating in their rearward parts with the sides of the scoop frame for limited pivotable motion relative to the scoop frame to change the angular orientation of the bottom element of the scoop frame relative to an underlying supportative surface between a scooping mode and a transporting mode responsive to a handle motion, each side element being pivotably interconnected in its forward part by a “U”shaped handle bar extending therebetween and limited in its pivotable motion relative to the side elements from a rearward to a forward position; an elongate flexible bag releasably communicating about the scoop frame and extending rearwardly therefrom with a closable opening in the rearward part of the bag; and closure means associated with the flexible bag to allow pre-determined opening and closing of the rearward opening therein defined responsive to pivotable motion of the “U”shaped handle bar.
