# In the first place, one may not make a situation which is disgusting which will need to be removed, however after the fact, the disgusting item may be removed. <Ref>Shulchan Aruch 308:36 writes that one should make a disgusting object in order to remove it from the house, and Mishna Brurah 308:139 explains that one shouldn’t make a disgusting item (which will need to be removed) irrelevant of one’s intent. </ref>

# A container for going to the bathroom such as a child’s potty is muktzeh after the goes to the bathroom in it. It can be emptied out because it is disgusting but it can’t be returned unless some water is placed in it.<ref>Beitzah 36b, Shulchan Aruch 308:35. Bet Yosef 308:35 cites the Mahari Avuhav who was bothered how adding water helps since placing something permitted on something muktzeh doesn’t help except for a corpse. Mishna Brurah 308:135 explains that the container for waste is muktzeh like a rock since it can’t be used for anything while it is disgusting. Chazon Ish 48:10 argues that the entire concept of placing in water is a unique gezerah and has nothing to do with muktzeh.</ref>

===Avoiding Moving a Graf Shel Reey===
# If it is possible to do tiltul min hasad one should do so instead of moving a graf shel reey directly.<ref>Rav Moshe Feinstein in Tiltulei Shabbat v. 10 is strict. See Mishna Brurah 308:115 who sounds otherwise.</ref>
#Similarly, some say that if one can get a non-jew to move a graf shel reey one should do so.<ref>Orchot Shabbat v. 2 p. 173 cites Aruch Hashulchan and Rav Moshe who are strict to avoid it, while Orchot Shabbat disagrees.</ref>
