Going green, recycling and getting rid of cat litter? I am working on doing a little bit each week to help out with the Global Effort. My question is this: I have a cat and when I clean out her litter, I use a used grocery plastic bag. Is there a better way that is more %26quot;Green%26quot; . I live in an apartment and it is so quick to grab a bad and clean out the litter box. Any suggestions that are more environment friendly?

Based on that I wouldn%26#039;t want it in my compost pile either.

yes, dont flush!!!!!

You can buy like cat litter bags that you put down and them but the cat litter in when shes done her stuf lol tie it up and thrw it away

Depends on where you live. I have a cat but I live in the country. Composting is good but not in your garden compost.
Cat litter has clay in it and it is not good to flush it down the tiolet if you have a septic tank. I take it and bury it in the back woods where it can decompose on its own. Paper bags are better than plastic. You can put the old litter back in the bag it came from and puy it in the trash can, out side of course.

they make recycled newpaper based cat litter, it is biodegradeable. If you have a friend who has a yard you can bury it in, Also many of these types are flushable. Which isn%26#039;t bad if you don%26#039;t let the cat box build up for too long.

Kay-Kob Bedding %26amp; LitterKaytee Kay-Kob is a natural
corn cob product, ideal as a bedding and litter for birds
and small animals. Haven%26#039;t tried it yet, but flushing cat
poop is what I do. Pine wood shavings works and can
be composted.

Swheat Scoop is a great flushable alternative to regular kitty litter. It is granular, like regular litter, but is made out of non-food grade wheat leftovers. You can find it at places like Petco and PetSmart, but you can usually get it for cheaper at Target. Local cat stores will also usually carry it, if you%26#039;re not a fan of shopping at big box stores (which I am not). Scoop out your cat box daily, let it sit in the toilet while you%26#039;re getting ready, and flush after about 20 minutes! Trial and error.

find someone who has a compost bin.

Get a biodegradable litter, in the grand scheme of things you have to decide which one you %26quot;stand%26quot; behind; some are flush-able, some really aren%26#039;t. Read the packaging carefully.
I%26#039;m currently working on the task of de-bagging my world, but, like you, I often reach for one as a trash bag.
Luckily, I have a compost bin, though, and I can take the bag out and, I know it%26#039;s gross, but, empty the bag and re-use it... I keep it in a bin with a lid for a week, then throw it out...
The clean bags get recycled.
They do make biodegradable bags (I have some for my kitchen compost). They%26#039;re expensive, but you could line an ice cream bucket with them, snap on the lid and empty into that. Tie up the bag before trash-day and dump it (they make big trash bags from recycled plastic now, too, for the rest of your trash), or take it to a community compost bin and chuck bag and all.
Not the best solution, but it%26#039;s a start.
