ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for disposing of animal waste includes a receptacle which receives animal litter. A sieve is placed within the receptacle to rest therein beneath the animal litter. The sieve includes openings sized to allow particulates to pass therethrough but to impede the passage of solid waste therethrough. To remove the solid waste, the sieve is provided with handles so that it can be lifted from the receptacle and turned or otherwise positioned to allow the waste to fall there off of. The apparatus includes a waste-guiding device which fits over the receptacle to define an opening to help in guiding the animal to deposit waste in the receptacle. The waste-guiding device, in one embodiment, is formed in two semi-circular portions with each being hingedly secured to the receptacle.
