A device for picking-up and removing animal excrement and the like has a pair of elongated tong members pivotally connected together intermediate their ends. Each of the tong members have a loop handle portion at its rear end, an intermediate shank portion and a jaw portion at its front end. The device is used with or without a conventional plastic bag. The jaw portions of the tongs are inserted into the open end of the plastic bag and the jaw portions are then pivoted away from each until they contact the sides of the plastic bag. The end of the plastic bag is then pushed into the space between the jaw portions to form a chamber for receiving animal excrement. The front end of the jaw portions is then positioned over the animal excrement and the jaw portions are pivoted to a closed position in which the respective side walls of the top jaw member and the respective side walls of the bottom jaw portion are interlocked together so that the plastic bag can be captured between them. The open end of the plastic bag is then pulled toward the front end of the jaw portions and it is tightly closed. The closed plastic bag is then removed from the jaw portions of the device and thrown away.
