Litter disposal???

[Lizzie]

While I can reduce the waste by flushing solids from the Feline Pine and corn based litter I use, I have no choice but to double bag in plastic bags for the rest - it's required by my waste disposal company. I do need to look into buy plastic bags that break down eventually. I've thought of putting the sawdust from the Feline Pine at the bottom of the garden, but it does retain urine smells and it would attract problems.

I Take Mine By The Shopping Centre Where They Have The Big Trash Bags That Are Collected Twice A Day, As Its I Think Illegal To Throw Them In The Regular Trash Bins.
That Way They Arent There That Long.
They Would Be Too Heavy If I Tried To Throw Them Out Once A Week.

I just put mine in either plastic bags, or use the cardboard litter containers the stuff came in to dispose of it.

While I can't say I know a whole lot about composting, since I've never done it myself, I have read several articles about not using animal waste, particularly feline, for compost. One article also mentioned not only the risk of parasites/pathologens but also chemicals from medications and flea products.

Here are several links on it.

This one is about a zoo that composts most waste, except for feline and primate waste because of health concerns.

And here is an entire debate on composting cat waste and feline pine

I use scoopable Feline Fresh and all the pee biscuits and tootsie rolls are flushed down the toilet. When I completely change the litterbox (and with one cat it's only about once a month, if that) I put the litter in a double plastic bag. In my apt we have a garbage chute but I'm always afraid the bag will break on the way down so I carry it down to the bin.

Have you ever heard of the Litter Locker? I really want to buy one, but I am currently using a flushable pea pod litter.

I just put it in carrier bags (grocery bags) and put it in the normal housewaste bin, I don't know what else to do with it.
We have seperate bins for garden waste and recycables.

It depends on where you shop and the kind of bags they use. Some of the so-called plastic bags aren't plastic at all, even though that's what they call them. They're actually paper that looks like plastic. Some toilet papers come wrapped in it. But if I can't get that then, unfortunately, I dispose of it in the plastic bags. What else to do?
