Solid animal waste can be removed from a carpet or other surface by a flexible garment worn on a person's hand and fore-arm. The garment includes a glove adapted to be worn on the person's hand and an open-mouthed bag extended from the glove for disposition around the person's forearm. When the animal waste is within the grasp of the glove, the bag can be turned inside out to enclose the glove and animal waste. Ties on the bag can be tied together to close the bag around the animal waste.
