a tray manipulating means including a jaw positionable at the distal end of the platform, the jaw structurally configured to grasp a portion of the tray positioned on the platform in releasable engagement, with one of the jaw and the platform being movable relative to each other so as to separate the at least one tray from the platform, and the jaw being shakable so as to be able to shake the tray;
a receptacle for garbage disposal being positionable below at least the proximal end of the at least one tray such that upon shaking, garbage on the tray is urged to slip off the proximal end and into the receptable; and
and a tray storing means, including a support structurally configured to receive a tray, with at least one of the jaw and the support being movable such that upon release of the at least one tray, the tray is directed to the support of the tray storing means,
wherein the tray receiving means is structurally configured to receive the tray and directs the tray to the tray manipulating means which removes garbage from the tray into the receptacle for garbage disposal and whereupon the tray can be released onto the support of the tray storing means.
