A waste containment system has been developed which in one aspect includes a container and a waste removal apparatus removably disposed in the container. In one aspect the waste removal apparatus is releasably held by a hook on a handle or handles, the hook engaging a lip of the container. The waste removal apparatus, in one aspect has a reticulated grid or mesh structure for the passage therethrough of litter material and for the retention thereon of either animal waste deposited on or in the litter or waste/litter agglomerates formed upon contact of agglomerating litter with animal waste. Such an apparatus may have a plate or blade end to facilitate its insertion into a mass of litter and one or more side walls or handles for ease of manipulation. A tapered pointed lip is on the blade end of certain embodiments. One or more weights may be placed on, releasably connected to, or formed of the apparatus or the reticulated structure to inhibit up-thrust of a mass of litter material.
