Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a toilet removal and disposal tray that can attach to the bottom of a toilet to protect the floor from water leaking from the toilet and from coming into contact with the used wax ring. The tray is compact and easily carried and stored, and may be disposable so that it can be thrown with the toilet after use.

Problems solved by technology

The removal of toilets can be unsanitary and cause a mess in the bathroom and throughout a home while the toilet is being carried outside.
In addition, this is a dangerous task because toilets may be heavy and awkward to handle.
The worker can easily suffer personal injuries, such as back injuries, from carrying such a heavy object in such an awkward position or damage items in the home, such as walls and / or furniture.
