Hello cat-caring friends! I have a question for you all today which is -- how do you dispose of your cat's litterbox waste on a daily basis?
I ask because my current system is failing me lately. I have a dedicated, lidded (small) garbage bin I use. I place a garbage bag (I often re-use bread bags for garbage and have also used green compost bags) inside and scoop the daily gifts into the bag in the bin. Once it's "full" enough, I take it outside to the big bin. This has worked just fine for years. The litter is Swheat Scoop.
Lately, however, both the compostable and regular plastic/bread bags are getting drenched in urine and dripping urine puddles that collect in the bottom of the garbage bin and all on the outside of the bags, too. It makes taking it out an icky task and it smells a lot more than it normally used to.
My question is -- how can I change my system to prevent this urine leakage? I have no idea why it suddenly became a problem but I'd like to figure out a better way. There must be one! Preferably without using too much plastic going into the garbage (i.e., I don't want to scoop into a bag and throw it out every day like you would for a dog). Anyone have ideas? What do you do? Thanks!
