The present disclosure provides a shovel apparatus comprising a body comprising a bottom and two sides fixedly coupled to the bottom. A first handle is coupled to each of the sides. A second handle is coupled to each of the sides and extending past the back of the sides and away from the shovel apparatus. Each of the first and second handles extend away from the bottom and are connected so the first handle is located forward toward a front of the shovel apparatus, wherein the sides slope away from the second handle at an angle substantially similar to the angle that the second handle extends from the sides, with the first handle being connected forward toward a front of the shovel apparatus. The shovel apparatus can be sized to hold the bag or sack in an open position for filling.
