Abstract

A self-supporting dustpan and broom combination. The dustpan includes a scoop portion and a handle. The broom includes a head having a front end and an opposed handle. The broom may be releasably secured to the dustpan in a storage position. In this storage position the broom head is spaced from the scoop portion, and the front end is positioned such that said dustpan and broom combination is self-supported by said lip and said front end upon the floor. This reduces storage space requirements, and positions the handles at a convenient location.
