Silly question I know but.. where do you cat owners dispose of the cat poo/litter?

Question

can the litter be put in the waste bin and the poo be flushed down the toilet?
or does it all have to go in the bin?
i know its gross but i have often wondered where us cat owners put it!! thanks,

Answer 1

I scoop the litter boxes daily, placing the waste in small trash bags and tying them.  I put the small bags into a lined trash can outside.  Once a week I remove the bag from the can outside to be picked up by trash collectors.  When I empty the litter boxes I just empty them into a trash bag to be picked up by the trash collectors.  I don't recommend flushing the poo.  If there's any cat litter on it, your plumbing lines will eventually become clogged by the litter.

Answer 2

Ha ha, not a silly question at all actually - I put it all in the general bin (outside). I'd like to flush poo away but it's always got litter stuck to it and that doesn't flush first time and would probably block up the toilet in the end.

At work we have to dispose of it in a special bag, but there are not laws for where the general public put animal waste so long as it is some sort of disposal.

If you put it down the loo, you have to have a good flush as little bits of litter end up at the bottom of the bend.

Daily, scoop out the poop and clumped wee and dispose of in a plastic bag or crumpled newspaper.
Double wrap the whole lot from the tray in supermarket carrier bags once a week.

Answer 4

Depends on the type of litter. The clumping fullers earth type has to go in the dustbin, preferably in dogie poo bags first.If it is the paper type or wood type then it can be disposed off in compost bins or buried in the garden. I would never flush it down the loo in case it  caused a blockage.

Answer 5

Heyya x
I put the poo in a babies nappy bag before putting it in the black bin. This means it doesn't get the bin all stinky or anything and its easier to dispose. Not a silly question at all. Yes it could be flushed down the toilet i suppose LOL but i'd use the bin. The one i use is the black dont know if you can use the others.
Hope this helps a bit.

Answer 6

I recycle a plastic grocery bag by putting the cat poo in it and tieing it with a knot so it doesn't smell. I put it in the garbage. I wouldn't recommend the toilet since the litter may clog it. You could always bury the poo in your flower garden as a fertilizer.

Answer 7

i have scented bin liners i put it into them then put it into the normal bin outside, don't put it down the loo it sticks in the pipes and the cat litter doesn't flush away properly, reason i know this i used to do it and it clogged up the pipe work from the toilet to the sewer..

Answer 8

well that is what i do , i am very particular about my two cats litter tray, i use a wood pellet sort of litter it is made from recovered sawdust,and as soon as my cats use it , for poo, i lift it out with paper and flush it down toilet then i top it up a wee bit, i then daily empty whole tray and put it in a black bag and it goes in bin, there is never any poo in it as i said i flush that,and the litter does not smell too bad as it gets renewed daily, i dont let much litter go down toilet, it has a good flush ,

Answer 9

The litter box is cleaned out as soon as i see the cat has used it and the contents of the litter box is put in a supermarket bag and put in to the brown wheelie bin, Incidentally I always use a large black plastic wheelie bin bag in the wheelie bin first.

Answer 10

U can use the bin, in parks you can use the dog litter bins, the gouverment arnt gonna sue (spelling?) you, because people dont take their cats for walks normally, or you can buy an outside bin especcialy for the ****.

Answer 11

I live in the states and have a public water system not a septic tank. I flush the poo down the toilet when I sift it daily. When changing , I bag the litter and put it in the trash. Not gross, hon. Fact of life.

Answer 12

i know there is a litter out there that is 'flushable'... but i'm willing to guess it's just the waste itself with some of the litter that can be flushed... can't say i know exactly, i throw mine away in the trash :)

Answer 13

I throw everything (dirty litter, cat poop) in a plastic bag and throw it out. I never flush cat poop down the toilet because their poop gets very hard (almost like little rocks) and it can damage the toilet plumbing....

Answer 14

I scoop poop every day.  I put all the waste into a trash bag, seal the bag, and put it in the trash can outside.  You can try to flush it, but I don't recommend it.

Answer 15

l have 3 cats, they have wood based litter, and their poo and bits of litter go down the toilet, then the rest of the litter goes in the bin.

Answer 16

Well in our cat tray we have litter liners, when cleaned out we just lift the bag up, tie it in a knot and sling it in the bin outside !!

Hope iii helped!

Answer 17

I clean the cat box the night before the trash gets picked up, and I just put it out with the rest of my trash (in a trash bag, of course).

Answer 18

I have an indoor cat ~ I use a wood base litter and the poo I flush down the loo and the wee I bag up in babys nappy bags and put in the rubbish ~
I hope this helps with your strange question ~

Answer 19

I put the whole lot in with the other general rubbish (non recyclable stuff). Im sure you could flush the poo down the loo if you wanted to though.

Answer 20

I put it in the scented nappy sacks designed for babies nappies, tie it securely then dispose of it in my bin outside ready for collection..
