A litter collecting bag is retained by a clamping device in an open-end of a tubular housing. Pawl means attached to a spring loaded handle slidingly mounted atop the housing engages a sliding toothed rod connected through the housing to the clamping device permitting the litter collecting bag to be drawn into an ejected from the housing. When the collecting bag is pressed by the housing onto a quantity of litter, the litter is driven into the collecting bag. The litter bag self-seals as it is fully retracted into the tubular housing and may be discharged later to dispose of the litter conveniently.
