unscooped

Left in container

Unscooped describes something that hasn't been scooped—either literally not lifted with a scooping motion, or in journalism, not yet reported by a competitor.

A reporter with an unscooped story still has the exclusive.

In pet owner contexts, unscooped typically refers to animal waste not yet cleaned up: The unscooped litter box was starting to smell.
