1. A containment system to safely store waste and a waste scoop, comprising: (a) an outer receptacle including a bottom surface, at least one side wall, and an opening;(b) an inner receptacle including a bottom surface and at least one side wall housed within the outer receptacle and including an opening, wherein the inner receptacle is removable from the outer receptacle via the opening of the outer receptacle;(c) a scoop assembly including a scoop, a handle, and a lid, wherein the scoop is housed within the inner receptacle and is removable from the inner receptacle via the opening of the inner receptacle;(d) wherein when the scoop is housed within the inner receptacle and the inner receptacle is housed within the outer receptacle, the lid of the scoop assembly can be coupled to the outer receptacle so as to enclose the scoop and inner receptacle within the outer receptacle;(e) wherein when the scoop is housed within the inner receptacle and the inner receptacle is housed within the outer receptacle, the lid of the scoop assembly can be decoupled from the outer receptacle for removal of the scoop from the inner and outer receptacles; and(f) wherein the scoop assembly includes a first coupling element and the outer receptacle further includes a second coupling element capable of being joined with the first coupling element to secure a planar surface of the lid to cover the opening of the outer receptacle. 2. The containment system of claim 1, further comprising an air freshening compartment, capable of containing an odor reduction or odor freshener element, connected to the outer receptacle. 3. The containment system of claim 2, wherein the outer receptacle further includes a third coupling element, wherein the air freshening compartment includes a fourth coupling element, and wherein the fourth coupling element is capable of being joined with the third coupling element to connect the air freshening compartment to the bottom surface of the outer receptacle. 4. The containment system of claim 3, wherein: (a) the third coupling element includes at least one mechanical element to receive the fourth coupling element and abut a planar surface of the compartment;(b) the fourth coupling element includes at least one mechanical element to receive the third coupling element and to abut a planar surface of the compartment to the outer receptacle;(c) the compartment is removed from the outer receptacle by decoupling the third coupling element from the fourth coupling element; and(d) the third and fourth coupling elements are adapted to decouple for the replacement of an odor reduction or air fresher substance. 5. The containment system of claim 4, wherein the compartment includes a vent for the odor reduction element to continuously absorb odor. 6. The containment system of claim 4, wherein the compartment includes a vent for the odor freshener element to continuously release air freshener. 7. The containment system of claim 4, wherein, when the third and fourth coupling elements are coupled together, the containment system is capable of deterring a toddler. 8. The containment system of claim 2, wherein the compartment is removably coupled to the outer receptacle. 9. The containment system of claim 2, wherein the compartment can further include a hinge or tether to connect the compartment to the outer receptacle. 10. The containment system of claim 1, wherein, when the first and second coupling elements are coupled together, the containment system is capable of deterring a toddler. 11. The containment system of claim 1, wherein the inner receptacle includes a protrusion extending inward or upward and adapted to remove any residual waste on the scoop when the scoop is moved against the protrusion. 12. The containment system of claim 11, wherein the inner receptacle is disposable and replaceable. 13. The containment system of claim 11, wherein the protrusion is a flexible protrusion. 14. The containment system of claim 11, wherein the protrusion extends inwardly from opposing sides or upwardly from the bottom of the inner receptacle. 15. The containment system of claim 1, further comprising an air freshening compartment, capable of containing an odor reduction or odor freshener element, wherein the compartment is removably coupled to the lid. 16. The containment system of claim 1, wherein the first and second coupling elements are capable of being mechanically coupled and decoupled for coupling and decoupling of the lid and the outer receptacle together. 17. The containment system of claim 1, wherein the lid can further includes a hinge or tether to connect the lid to the outer receptacle to provide a closure and access to the openings of the outer and inner receptacles. 18. The containment system of claim 17, wherein, when the first and second coupling elements are coupled together, the containment system is capable of deterring a toddler. 19. A containment system to safely store waste and a waste scoop, comprising: (a) an outer receptacle including a bottom surface, at least one side wall, an opening, and a first coupling element;(b) an inner receptacle including a bottom surface and at least one side wall housed within the outer receptacle and including an opening, wherein the inner receptacle is removable from the outer receptacle via the opening of the outer receptacle;(c) a scoop assembly including a scoop, a handle, a lid, and a second coupling element, wherein the scoop is housed within the inner receptacle and is removable from the inner receptacle via the opening of the inner receptacle;(d) wherein when the scoop is housed within the inner receptacle and the inner receptacle is housed within the outer receptacle, the lid of the scoop assembly can be coupled to the outer receptacle so as to enclose the scoop and inner receptacle within the outer receptacle;(e) wherein when the scoop is housed within the inner receptacle and the inner receptacle is housed within the outer receptacle, the lid of the scoop assembly can be decoupled from the outer receptacle for removal of the scoop from the inner and outer receptacles; and(f) wherein the second coupling element is capable of being joined with the first coupling element to secure a planar surface of the lid to cover the opening of the outer receptacle.
