ABSTRACT:
An electro-mechanical animal waste container for deodorizing fumes from animal waste is disclosed. The container includes an open frame, a tray, a fume hood and a sensor. The frame has a base and the tray is positioned therein. The tray is for receiving animal waste. The fume hood is attached to the frame and is spaced above the tray. The fume hood has an outlet port formed therein. A fan is positioned in the fume hood such that the fan draws the fumes from the tray into the fume hood and toward the outlet port. The sensor determines when there is an animal in the tray. A control circuit is operably connected to the sensor and the fan wherein when the sensor detects an animal in the tray the fan is switched on after a preselected amount of time and then after a second preselected amount of time the fan is switched off. Preferably a filter is positioned over the outlet port and is for deodorizing air that passes therethrough. Preferably a second filter is positioned at the bottom of fume hood.
