Waste recovery and disposal kits

Claim 1

A kit for disposing of animal wastes which consists in its entirety of: a collapsible, disposable; waste receiving container having an open end and an implement which can be employed in association with said container to transfer wastes from a surface on which said wastes have been deposited to said container through the open end thereof, said container having a flat, rigid base extending from the open end of the container toward the opposite end thereof; side and top walls fabricated from a more flexible, lighter gauge material than said base, said side and top walls being so interrelated with each other and the base that said container can be opened up from a compact, flattened configuration to a configuration in which said container provides a waste-receiving chamber with a mouth defined by the open end of the container; and a flat handle means with an upper surface and a lower surface, an operative position relative to said base, and lying beyond said opposite end of said container by which said container can be manipulated to facilitate the transfer of said wastes to said container, said handle means being an extension of said base integrated with the base from one side of the base to the other to substantially preclude bending between the handle means and the base, said base having upper and lower surfaces, and the upper and lower surfaces of said base and said handle means lying entirely in the same planes with said handle means in its operative position relative to the base.
