A pooper-scooper, or poop scoop, is a evice commonly used to pick up an animal's fecal matter. This includes devices which remove feces from public places or from litter boxes. Pooper-scooper devices often have a bag or bag attachment. 'Poop bags' are alternatives to pooper scoopers, and are simply a bag, usually turned inside out, to carry the feces to a proper disposal area. Sometimes, the person performing the cleanup is also known as the pooper-scooper.
