Method and apparatus are provided for a pet waste collection device. In one embodiment the device includes an elongated handle extending from a grip at an upper end of the handle to a bracket at a lower end thereof. A housing is pivotally connected at a first end thereof to a main pivot on the bracket and extends away from the handle to a second end. The device may further include a leg extending from the housing proximate the housing second end to a foot at a lower end of the leg, and a waste receptacle connected to the bracket opposite the housing. A scoop has a pivot end and a scooping end, with the pivot end connected to a spool rotatably mounted inside the housing proximate the housing second end, wherein the scoop is rotatable from a scooping position in which the scoop extends downward, to a dumping position in which the scooping end is juxtaposed with the waste receptacle. The device may further include a torsion coil spring disposed within the housing and configured to wind or unwind upon rotation of the scoop about the housing. A flexible tension member connects the spool to the bracket.
