A dog waste clean-up tool for retrieving solid waste from the ground is disclosed. A reusable canister with interior paper dividing walls is placed onto the dog waste with its opening and dividers facing down. The user presses the canister, and its dividers, into the waste by stepping on the bottom of the canister and placing weight onto the canister until waste adheres to the dividers. The user picks up the canister and places it onto a disposable lid. The soiled paper dividers and the lid are ejected from the canister into a garbage bin or a composting bin.
