1. An organic matter processing apparatus (OMPA), comprising:
a bucket assembly for processing organic matter;
a bucket interface assembly constructed to receive the bucket assembly, the bucket interface assembly comprising a port; and
an air treatment system coupled to receive untreated air via the port, the air treatment system comprising:
an airflow duct assembly coupled to the port;
a fan coupled to the airflow duct assembly and operative to draw in untreated air from the bucket assembly via the port and the airflow duct assembly;
a manifold coupled to the fan and constructed to redirect untreated air through a media chamber positioned above the manifold, wherein the media chamber converts untreated air to treated air; and
a spine member coupled to the manifold, the spine member comprising:
a media chamber retaining region constructed to interface with the media chamber when the media chamber is inserted into and placed within the spine member; and
an exhaust region fluidically coupled to receive treated air from the media chamber and fluidically coupled to at least one outlet port to exhaust the received treated air out of the OMPA.
