A portable apparatus of component parts aligned and detachable from one another in such a way as to allow for sanitary and ergonomic collection, hands-free transportation, and environmentally optimal disposal of pet waste. The apparatus comprises a cylindrical container that when assembled with a removable base and removable lid creates an airtight container enhanced with a disposable, flushable liner that fits in the interior of the waste collection container. The top of the lid incorporates a, telescoping handle, while the underside of the lid incorporates a shovel unit that fits inside the container and is offset and aligned in close proximity to the walls of the container to ensure ample room for both the shovel unit and collected pet waste when the removable lid and base are both attached to temporarily seal the container. The apparatus also comprises a removable base cap that when attached to the base of the closed container creates a compartment separate from the collected pet waste. The apparatus is designed for portability with a clip or tether means for attaching it to the user's articles of clothing or mode of transportation.
