Abstract: A waste removal device includes a body, a paddle, and a collection chamber. The paddle is drivable to deliver waste from an area to be cleaned to the collection chamber. The waste removal device further includes a fluid delivery device arranged to deliver a fluid to the area to be cleaned. A lever may be actuated to drive the paddle and an optional brush or other secondary means, which scoop and clean pet waste from a surface. Upon activating the paddle, a water sanitation system may engage and deliver sanitation fluid both onto the area to be cleaned and onto internal mechanisms of the device.

Abstract: A waste removal device comprises a body, a paddle (5,72) and a collection chamber (16,74), the paddle (5,72) being drivable to deliver waste from an area to be cleaned (18,73) to the collection chamber (16,74) and further comprising a fluid delivery device (13,75) arranged to deliver a fluid to the area to be cleaned (18,73). A lever (1,77) may be actuated to drive the paddle (5,72) and an optional brush (8) or other secondary means, which scoop and clean pet waste from a surface. Upon activating the paddle (5,72), a water sanitation system may engage and deliver sanitation fluid both onto the area to be cleaned818,72) and onto internal mechanisms of the device. The device may be used several times before emptying, which may be carried out by returning it to a docking station where a mechanism automatically releases the waste into a sealed biodegradable tank.
