Systems and methods for retrieving, transporting and disposing of pet waste

A pet waste retrieval, transporting, and disposal system comprising:

• a container assembly having an opening, a first portion that is substantially cylindrical having a first diameter, a second portion that is substantially cylindrical having a second diameter, the second diameter smaller than first diameter;
• a cover assembly removably attachable to the container assembly, the cover assembly including a lid portion, a retrieval member and a handle, where the retrieval member and the handle are attached to the lid portion, where the lid portion is adapted to close the opening of the container assembly when the cover assembly is in an attached position;
• and
• a pliable gasket disposed between the container assembly and the lid when the cover assembly is in the attached position, where the cover assembly is adapted to seal the opening of the container assembly when the cover assembly is in the attached position.

A pet waste retrieval, transporting, and disposal system comprising:

• a container assembly having a primary opening, a first portion that is substantially cylindrical having a first diameter, a second portion that is substantially cylindrical having a second diameter, the second diameter smaller than first diameter, an optional secondary opening distal the primary opening, a secondary cover adapted to close the secondary opening, and a hands-free mounting member;
• and
• a cover assembly removably attachable to the container assembly, the cover assembly including a lid portion, a retrieval member, a handle and an illuminating element, where the retrieval member and the handle are attached to the lid portion, where the lid portion is adapted to close the opening of the container assembly when the cover assembly is in an attached position;
• where the cover assembly is adapted to seal the opening of the container assembly when the cover assembly is in the attached position, and
• where at least a portion of the container assembly or cover assembly is made of at least one rigid or semi-rigid material selected from the group comprising metal, carbon fiber, acetal resin, inorganic solid material, thermoplastic polymer and thermosetting polymer.
