A portable apparatus which works in conjunction with an existing ceiling exhaust intake to more directly and selectively intake waste odor emanating either from a bed pan, or from a toilet having a conventionally mounted hinged toilet seat. The waste odor collection apparatus comprises: an upright tube having an upper end portion, a central portion adapted to receive a flexible hose, and a lower portion adapted to seat on a supporting surface; a hood carried by and above the upper portion of the upright tube, adapted to peripherally surround and cover the exhaust intake on the ceiling; and, a first flexible hose having a feed end portion adapted to removably attach to the central portion of the upright tube and a collection end which may be routed proximate to a source of waste odor. Another aspect of this apparatus provides for an odor collection wand which is used in conjunction with the flexible hose connected to the exhaust intake. The wand, without increasing the conventional spacing between the toilet seat and the toilet, can be inserted above the toilet, beneath the toilet seat and between the hinges on the toilet, so that air will be drawn therein from within the toilet bowl.
