ABSTRACT:
A method of disposing of animal excrement uses a container having a bottom wall, a front wall, a rear wall, a first side wall and a second side wall. The front wall, the rear wall and the first and the second side walls each are connected to the bottom wall and cooperate with the bottom wall to encompass a pet receiving space in an opened position of the container in which litter material is placed. The ends of the side walls and the front and rear walls, opposite the ends connected to the bottom wall are connected. The side walls each are gusseted so that the container may be collapsed to a position wherein the side walls and the front and rear walls are folded onto the bottom wall in the collapsed position of the container. The container is opened from the collapsed position to an operating position wherein the side walls and the front and rear wall each extend a distance upwardly from the bottom wall and cooperate to enclose the pet receiving space. A pet opening is formed through the front wall of the container and the pet opening is sized so that a pet can enter into the pet receiving space via the pet opening. After use by the pet, the container is collapsed and disposed of.
