    Abstract: A receptacle for receiving containers of feces, for transport therein to a secondary receptacle such as a trash container, is provided. The receptacle includes a spring loaded opening, such that the opening may be held open without intervention of a person, and closed after receipt of a feces container therein. The opening may be opened under the influence of energy stored in the coil spring, such that the container(s) of feces therein may fall therefrom under the influence of gravity into the secondary receptacle. A pouch, formed on the exterior of the receptacle, may be configured to carry one or more containers for retrieval of feces thereinto.
