Abstract: An apparatus and method for more efficiently and hygienically managing and disposing waste that is otherwise stored in the holder or tray of a self-cleaning cat litter box is presented. It enables waste to channel into a garbage bag instead of accumulating in a relatively smaller and expensive tray, thereby, reducing the frequency of disposal and maintenance and minimizing unhygienic conditions that occur when waste exceeds tray capacity. It can be shaped in the form of a table, for positioning below said litter box, with it's intake hole positioned below said tray, so that waste falling from a hole in said tray enters and channels into a garbage bag/container positioned across the outflow opening of the apparatus. It may also be shaped to substitute for said holder or tray, with the added element of an outflow opening to which a plastic garbage bag can positioned to receive and store waste.
