ABSTRACT:
A waste removal device has been developed which in one aspect has a reticulated grid or mesh structure for the passage therethrough of litter material and for the retention thereon of either animal waste deposited on or in the litter or waste/litter agglomerates formed upon contact of agglomerating litter with animal waste. Such an apparatus may have a plate or blade end to facilitate its insertion into a mass of litter and one or more side walls or handles for ease of manipulation. A tapered pointed lip is on the blade end of certain embodiments. One or more weights may be placed on or formed of the apparatus or of the reticulated structure to inhibit up-thrust of a mass of litter material.
