Abstract
A sanitary waste disposal device for portable use includes a shell, which defines an interior space and which is substantially impermeable to water. An opening is positioned in a front of the shell proximate to a top of the shell. A cover panel is hingedly engaged to the shell proximate to the opening. The cover panel is hingable from a first position, wherein the cover panel closes the opening, to a second position, wherein waste is insertable through the opening into the shell. A mounting element is engaged to the shell proximate to the top and is used to selectively mount the shell to a substrate.

A sanitary waste disposal device comprising:
- a shell defining an interior space, the shell being substantially impermeable to water;
- an opening positioned in a front of the shell proximate to a top of the shell;
- a cover panel hingedly engaged to the shell proximate to the opening, such that the cover panel is hingable from a first position, wherein the cover panel closes the opening, to a second position, wherein the opening is configured for insertion of waste into the shell;
- a mounting element engaged to the shell proximate to the top, wherein the mounting element is configured for selectively mounting the shell to a substrate;
- and
- a pair of side flaps, each side flap being hingedly engaged to and extending between a respective opposed edge of the cover panel and the shell.
