A tool for picking up and bagging excrement and other debris has a tubular scoop on the bottom end of an upright handle post with a removable bag clamped around its rear end at a level above its open front mouth. The tubular scoop body is preferably formed of conventional pipe type plastics material, such as polyvinyl chloride, shaped to present a forwardly projecting scoop lip on the bottom of the open front thereof for sliding under and scraping up the excrement and inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the lip to present the bag receiving rear end at a level above the lip so that the bag will not drag against the surface being scraped. The mouth of the bag is conveniently wrapped around this rear end of the tube and held in position by an easily applied and removed clip or clamp. The handle post is also inclined either forwardly or rearwardly of the tube so that the scoop can be pushed or pulled toward and under the excrement. In one embodiment especially adapted for removing excrement from grass, the front open mouth of the tube is in the shape of a rearwardly inclined oval and the handle is tilted forwardly to pull the scoop under the excrement. In another embodiment, especially adapted for scraping excrement off of hard surfaces, the open front mouth of the tube has a rearwardly extending bottom groove with sharp edges for scraping the excrement and the handle is rearwardly inclined to push the tube.
