An improved animal waste collection and screening device having two litter pans in opposed orientation, an opened face of a first litter pan in facing arrangement with an open face of the second litter pan with a screen member in interposed relationship between the opposing litter pans. Tracks on the screen member guide and receive the first pan on a first face side of the screen member and guide and receive the second pan on a second face side of the screen member, holding the two pans securely together. The screen member provides on one longitudinal end a handle and two catches, one catch for engaging each said litter pan when each said litter pan is fully received by said tracks and properly oriented with respect to the screen member and the respective other litter pan. The catches are located approximate to the handle for convenient one hand engagement and disengagement, and are self engaging and manually disengaging devices. The screening device including the pans and the screen member, can be composed of a molded plastic. Once both pans are engaged to the screen member, the entire device can be transported by a person using the handle for convenience.
