An animal waste drying system has a feeder for feeding animal waste, at least one waste carrying platform for receiving the animal waste and dispensing the waste over a drying chamber and a moving unit for displacing the waste carrying platform. A kit includes at least a first shipping container and a second shipping container. The shipping containers can be joined together to form a drying chamber. Track segments contained in the shipping containers may be joined to form a closed track within the drying chamber. A method for assembling a waste drying system includes transporting at least the first shipping container and second shipping container to a drying location, joining the shipping containers to form a drying chamber and connecting a feeder from an external undried wasted producing system. Such drying system is also effective for drying various organic materials.
