I call these green garbage grabbers. They are easily made from PVC pipe, recycled banding, duct tape and a rubber band.
I sit on the board of directors for a non-profit called ALPAR (Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling) and help out with various commmunity clean up programs. I came up with the design a few years ago and made several dozen green grabbers for people to use at these events. They make a good project for a Scout Troop or the like.
They work great and can be used to pick up trash and many other objects. The video in step 5 shows me picking up a piece of scrap banding, a helium cylinder and a can of olives.

Interesting. This is a MAKE’d/toughened version of the grabbers for people in wheelchairs which usually run about $25.
Looks like you could whip one of these up for a few bucks. Nice.
How can i build this?
