A pick-up rake (10) has an elongate handle (20) attached to a rake head (30) . The rake head (30) is pivotally attached to a grasping element (40) through a connector element (50) having first and second rake hinge elements (56 ad 58 ). The connector element (50) enables the grasping element (40) to be pivoted from a stored positioned to a closed position, the connector element (50) pivoting to enable the rake head (30) to remain in contact with a ground surface while the grasping element (40) moves from the stored to the closed positions, despite the pick-up rake (10) being held at a natural 45 degree angle to the ground surface. A slider element (60) and a slider rod (62) cooperate to enable a user to clamp the grasping element (40) against the ra ke head (30), thereby grasping debris (12) therebetween and facilitating remova l of the debris (12).
