Waste disposal device (10, 150) including a housing (12, 152) defining a waste compartment (90) for receiving enclosed waste (82, 84, 86, 88) and arranged to receive a cartridge (24, 162) containing a length of flexible tubing (34) which operatively receives waste therein, a retention mechanism (42, 50, 178) for holding a quantity of waste received in the tubing (34) and a rotation mechanism (54, 56, 200) for rotating the retention mechanism (42, 50, 178) when the quantity of waste is held thereby and while the cartridge (24, 162) is stationary in order to twist the tubing (34) and enclose the held quantity of waste. The waste is thus rotated while the cartridge (24, 162) is held against rotation thereby enabling the formation of the twist (80) above the waste to enclose or encapsulate the waste. A pushing mechanism (180, 212) may be provided on a cover (158) of the device (150) to push the waste into engagement with the retention mechanism (178). |
