An animal waste collecting device for collecting and disposing of animal waste. The animal waste collecting device includes a rigid, elongated handle having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end includes an eyelet thereon so as to allow the elongated handle to be hung from a hook or similar support. The second end is removably secured to a bag and cable tie assembly, wherein the cable tie is configured in a loop and secured to the open upper end of the bag. The bag is used to collect animal waste, wherein the rigidity of the cable tie allows the bag to remain open. The cable tie is pulled through a locking mechanism in order to seal the bag after animal waste has been collected therein. The cable tie assembly is removably secured to the second end of said elongated handle by a clip.
