The lower collar fits inside of the side wall, below the tray. The upper collar fits inside of said raised lip around said central opening. A guard comprising a planar sheet that connects a raised peripheral rim to a central upwardly extending wall is also disclosed.

Abstract: A device for separating clean litter from soiled litter comprising a receptacle with one inlet and two discharge outlets. Soiled animal litter enters the receptacle through the inlet and clean litter is separated out from the soiled litter. When the container is tilted in a first direction, feces exit the container through the first outlet and clean litter is retained in the receptacle. When the container is tilted in a second direction, clean litter exits the container through the second outlet and clean litter is retained in the receptacle.
