Abstract: An animal kennel having a provision for automatically disposing of animal waste. An impervious sheet is moved along the floor of the kennel and is adapted to collect the animal waste, and after leaving the kennel, a sheet of absorbent paper is applied over the waste on the impervious sheet and deodorant is applied to the absorbent paper. The side edges of the composite sheet are then folded inwardly and the composite sheet is rolled in coiled form on a collection drum while pressure is applied to the sheet to compact the waste. The movement of the sheet through the kennel can be actuated by a sensing mechanism which senses the presence of an animal in the kennel.
