    I have a small trashcan near the litterbox and I, too, line it with the plastic grocery bags. Each day I scoop into that bag and then put it outside in my big trash can. I have often thought there must be a better way too because the plastic won't break down and I am contributing to the landfill problem. I would love to hear other ideas too.

    How about paper lunch bags?

    I also use the plastic grocery bags and put them out in the dumpster. The lunch bag is kind of small though

    I guess it depends on what kind of litter you use. We use Feline Pine and clay litter. We flush the "solids" down the toilet. When it's time to change all the litter, we take it to the landfill. Feline Pine is wood and will break down to sawdust when wet. Clay litter will eventually dissolve.
    Ask your vet about microchipping. ~ It could have saved Kuhio's life.

    same here, when I hear paws in the box I grab the scoop - if she knows I'm waiting/hovering, for some reason she doesn't bury as much and I can flush her stools ... the used clay litter goes in a recycled plastic bag in the household trash
