Thread: A more environmentally friendly way to deal with cat waste?

Would not know with clay... if it say recyclable then I would say yes? I have a working heap.. and every time I put new cat litter on, I over fill with some from the old.. this stops the smell.. or in the summer when I clean the boys, out the BIG trays, I make sure I mow the lawn and put the grass cutting on this also stops the smell.

But the huge green compost bins with the bottom that opens is what I am going to invest in next year... I will then keep them in the same place... and use from the bottom... at the moment I am still designing my garden for more lay areas once this is done I will buy the bins..

Most recycle places will take cat poop.. in their garden waste that what I did when I lived in the UK.. I used to go once a week to the recycle place with my bagged up poop... I had to empty the bags.. which was a smelly job.. but hey its good for the environment. lol
