A disposable container for solid animal waste products comprising a waterproof flexible bag, a locking support structure, a closure strip, and a removable spatula. The support structure has a locking mechanism consisting of a center stay located opposite a pair of hinged support arms that maintain the bag mouth in an open configuration when the bag is in use. The locking support structure provides for accurate placement of solid animal waste into the bag during use, and the convenient collapsibility after use. The disposable container is economical to manufacture, and is also disposable, portable, sanitary, collapsible, and sealable. The disposable container also may be reopened several consecutive times without destroying the integrity of the locking support structure.

A disposable container for solid animal wastes having a maximal open position during use, and which easily collapses after use, comprising: a flexible bag having a plurality of bag sidewalls and a bag mouth; and a locking support structure to selectively maintain said mouth of said bag in a maximal open position during use and readily collapse said mouth to a closed position thereafter comprising: a center stay affixed to a first bag sidewall near said bag mouth and between a second and a third bag sidewall located adjacent thereto, said center stay being of such longitudinal dimension and position as to define a pair of spaces between ends of said center stay and said second and third bag sidewalls; and a hinged linear strip affixed to a fourth bag sidewall opposite said center stay, said hinged strip comprising a center linear strip spanning said fourth bag sidewall, and a pair of hinged linear arms attached to said center linear strip, which in a collapsed configuration for said flexible bag fold to overlap the top surface of said center linear strip and when extended, each of said pair of hinged arms extends at an angle less than perpendicular from said center strip to span said second and third bag sidewalls in a manner such that each of said hinged arms rests against and is retained by surface contact with a corresponding lateral end of said center stay and an adjacent portion of said first bag sidewall. *** BRS DOCUMENT BOUNDARY ***
