Introduction: Disposable Dustpan / Scoop
Zero commercial offerings inspired my disposable dustpan. Made with one sheet of 8.5" x 11" posterboard. For use where a disposable scoop is required or preferred, such as in a bodily fluid cleanup kit.
Secure joints using a glue gun.
TIP:To make the bends precisely, use a ruler as a clamping bar.
Measure, mark, and bend AS SHOWN IN DIAGRAM:
1. Measure center point on long edge.
2. Measure "a" four times. (= twice on each long edge) 1 3/8"
3. Mark fold lines 1 and 2
4. Fold 1's in, and unfoldish.
5. Fold 2's in. Glue.
6. Measure "b" on both sides 3 1/2"
7. Mark fold lines 3
8. Fold both 3's in. Glue.
9. Fold tips in to meet bottom edge of pan. Glue.
Drip a bloop of glue down into the inside of the very "point" of the handle, to seal it so it won't leak.
