A process for reprocessing soiled animal bedding material commingled with animal manure. The soiled animal bedding material is separated in a shaker to send at least a preponderance of said manure to a holding tank. Said bedding material is subsequently dried and compacted to form a compacted product. Alternatively, said bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product.
