Abstract
A waste disposal apparatus in which a container main body includes an introduction opening at a top wall portion of the container main body and a discharge opening at a bottom wall portion of the container main body. A cylindrical body having an exit portion is disposed within the container main body and is formed of an elastic material. An exit portion opening/closing device selectively holds the exit portion between a closed state, in which an exit portion of the cylindrical body is pressed and sealed, and an opened state, in which the exit portion of the cylindrical body is opened and the waste accumulated within the cylindrical body is discharged. The exit portion opening/closing device includes exit portion protruding device which, at the time of dumping of the waste, protrudes the exit portion of the cylindrical body to below the bottom wall portion of the container main body and through the discharge opening thereof.
