Dustpan

A dustpan, the small version of which is also known as a "hearth brush and shovel”, is a cleaning utensil. The dustpan is commonly used in combination with a broom or long brush. The small dustpan may appear to be a type of flat scoop.

Though often hand-held for home use, industrial and commercial enterprises use a hinged variety on the end of a long handle to allow the user to stand instead of stoop while using it.
