The dustpan has a pan-shaped base member having a rear wall, two sidewalls and an open front scoop over which debris is swept. The scoop is open at the top, and a handle which has two ends affixedly attached to the base member and extends out from the rear wall to form a U-shaped handle. The upwardly extending handle is attached to the U-shaped handle by a clamping member which snaps onto the U-shaped handle with the upwardly extending handle threaded into a threaded bore provided on the clamping member. The debris barrier has three walls which are respectively positioned parallel to the three walls of the pan-shaped base member of the dustpan. A pair of snapping members are provided on the rear wall and snap on top of the U-shaped handle of the dustpan to secure the debris barrier to the pan-shaped base member.
