The animal defecate collection apparatus provides for hands-free animal feces collection, importantly using any existing flexible bag a user might choose. The apparatus further provides that two sides of any bag surround collected feces. Additionally, the apparatus provides for a user to stand erect in using the apparatus. An additional feature provides for the stalk sections to be easily disengaged so that the stalk length can be reduced to about ⅓ that of the assembled length. The apparatus further provides for a user to collect feces prior to its landing on a given surface, using a relatively wide surface area for collection. Closure of the tines and inner members are in an upward, inner movement, negating any possible contact with feces therebetween.
