An apparatus for the collection and disposal of waste material is provided. The apparatus includes a receptacle adapted to be placed on a support surface having a generally upright handle attached thereto. The receptacle includes a lower tray and a cooperating upper portion. The lower tray has substantially planar bottom wall, a pair of vertically extending side walls which include elongated lateral slots. The upper portion has a generally shell-like configuration, and includes a pair of vertically depending side walls which are slidable disposed between the vertically extending side walls of the lower tray. The upper portion has an arcuate front portion which has a front edge adapted to scrape a horizontal surface and a downwardly sloping rear portion adapted for flush alignment with the bottom wall of the lower tray. The upper portion is thus slidably and rotatably engaged with the lower tray so that the upper portion is operable to scrape materials from the support surface onto the lower tray so as to capture materials in the receptacle. A method for collecting materials from a support surface is also disclosed.
