Kidding, hate those people. Anyways, new kitten, I hate scooping. Bought this at Lee Valley:
Just dump the whole thing in the sieve on top of a box, put the #### in the garbage, pour the newly sifted litter back in the litter box. With a plastic bag in the litter box, no sticking issues. Top up with litter if required, done.

I saw enclosed cat boxes like this at a friend's place. It's pretty cool. It looks like someone's crash pad for keys and stuff, but hides their kitty litter.
I don't have cats, but other than price, I honestly don't know why this isn't done more frequently. I bet you can DIY a version for cheap using IKEA and whatnot. You don't even need to enclose it. You just need to have a tall enough side table or coffee table on top to hide it.
I have a friend with cats and I'm tempted to replace their birthday gift one year to buy an enclosed litter box that looks like a fancy side table as a birthday gift to them one day or whatever. Fataing gross wandering past an exposed cat litter box every time I use the washroom when I go to their place.

On a side note, I seem to recall on farms that sawdust helps to get rid of the smell of piss and manure. I seem to recall that most people would mix saw dust or at least sprinkle stuff on top of kitty litter to deal with the smell. I don't think I've seen a cat owner do this for the last decade or two. Why? Is it a forgotten tip/"hack" or something? Why not both litter and sawdust?
