ABSTRACT:
A pet waste box is provided for collecting waste deposited by a pet, and for subsequent removal and disposal of the pet waste. The waste box comprises a housing including opposed first and second sidewalls, opposed front and back walls, and opposed top and bottom walls, an interior space defined by the walls for retaining pet litter and pet waste, a first opening through which a pet may enter and exit the housing, a second opening, and a structure for supporting the housing for rotation about a horizontal axis. The housing also includes a structure for closing the first opening, and a removable drawer received through the second opening and having a waste separation screen and a waste retaining partition. The screen and the partition are positioned within the housing so that, as the housing is rotated through one revolution, the screen separates the waste from the litter, and the waste is retained between the partition and the screen. The waste is then disposed by removing the drawer from the housing, and emptying the waste into an appropriate receptacle.
