used cat litter

Hi
When you are left with just used wet cat litter where do you empty it , I clean mine out twice a day but when it come to the big clean I put the used cat litter in the bin ( black bin ) but my question is could it go in the ( green bin ) with cut grass etc .
What do you do with yours.

Re: used cat litter

I scoop frequnetly, menaing several times a day (three cats four boxes) into plastic grocery bags that have been doubled up. I dump ansd scrub once a week. When the bag is about half full I put it in the trash barrell, and all goes to the dump once a week.

I would not recommend putting used cat litter in a compost pile.

Re: used cat litter

Depends on litter used. Some are definitely compostable - should say on packet.

However I stick wee clumps in green bin. Poo I stick in black bin or down toilet (depends on litter because cat attract I reckon would block a loo)

Re: used cat litter

I use nappy sacks to scoop poop and wet into as and when needed, then every few days or so empty the lot into the house hold bin, take that straight to black bin and clean the tray by hosing it down with the pressure hose.
I have two cats but one tray, they share very well, no probs at all Mostly though Teddy goes outside anyway. Pepper can't yet.

Re: used cat litter

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to put used cat litter in the garden waste bin. I use dog poo bags - scoop the poop or wee into them, tie in a knot & chuck in the normal household waste bin.

Re: used cat litter

If I use World's Best I put it down the loo but if it's catsan or wood pellets then I put them in nappy sacks and in the black bins.

The owner of the pet store said that you can put the wood pellets down the loo as well but I'm not so sure?? I have only used them since yesterday and only got them as that is what the breeder said to use as that is what Charlie and Lola had been litter trained with. I was intending on changing back to World's Best or Catsan but I am actually quite impressed so far. It dissolves into sawdust when wet and doesn't smell at all. And it was only £8 for a 20 litre bag. Does anyone else use these and flush?

Don't do it!!!! It'll clog your toilet/drains & cost you a fortune to get fixed. The only litter that I know of that you can flush & it's guaranteed is World's Best. I used to use it & loved it, but with 5 cats now I wouldn't even flush that in bulk. I stopped buying it even though I think it's good because it got so expensive that I couldn't justify the money for five cats to poo & wee in, lol! I don't like pelleted litter & neither do my cats - it was the only one they've ever refused to use, but all cats like different things. I use Costco's Litter Purrfect which is a great clumping litter & economical - just scoop the poops & wees as long as you keep it to the recommended depth. Btw - there is another litter that people will say is flushable - can't remember the name (? Octo something maybe?) - I was told at a cat show it was flushable, but read the bag & it isn't. Safest way is the dog poo bags which are really cheap & bin it!

Re: used cat litter

I use Yesterday's News. I scoop the poop as and when one is done, into a nappy sack then in the bin. I then empty the whole tray out every other day and clean the tray and lid etc. Sometimes I do it every day, just depends how much they've done and what they've done.
