(Not sure whicj forum this belongs in)
Lately I've been thinking about all the plastic bags full of clay cat litter and waste that I've sent to landfills for over 20 years and I'm trying to come up with an alternative. I've tried some of the natural litters like pine and corn-based, but even that stuff winds up in landfill unless I were to bury it in the yard, which isn't practical. I've heard that corn litter clumps can be flushed down the toilet but that it's also not advised and would use a ton of water. From the research I've done it seems like there aren't many options for ecological litter disposal. Other than compostable bags and natural litter there don't seem to be any sustainable options for cat litter/waste disposal since they still go to landfill. I'm curious if other people have thought about this and if anyone has ideas for natural disposal of cat waste.
