Kitty litter: How do you dispose of it while on the road?

The stuff weighs a good ten pounds and will stretch a plastic bag. How do you treat kitty litter when it becomes time to change it out while on the road?

Something I didn't know. So would an rver put dog waste down the rv toilet?

Flushing dog poop down the toilet โ€“ without a bag, only the waste โ€“ is perhaps the best disposal method, says the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Resources Defense Council. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into storm drains, and eventually into local waterbodies.

But cat feces should never be flushed, as it may contain Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can infect people and animals. Municipal water treatment systems do not always kill this parasite.

Some of my friends suggested to use it as a fertilizer and plant 1 seed for doing that.

Hope you could help me on this.

Thanks


There are enough zoonotic diseases that using untreated fecal material is a potential danger. It can be good fertilizer if composted properly or sterilized. Many of the human food recalls are related to fecal contamination in the field or during processing.

While you're in the RV driving through the road, simply throw the kitty litter box disposal thing into the toilet and flush it away.

I use the lightweight clumping litter and scoop it daily into the garbage bag. When the garbage is full, it goes into the dumpster.

Over the years we have had several guests that felt the best disposal methods were:
1. Just dump it out on the grass (bad)
2. Just dump it on the gravel pad (very bad)
3. Dump it down the sewer drain (exceptionally bad and costly)

Just put it in a plastic bag and put it in the regular trash.

We had a cat for years and I used the clumping litter and scooped several times per day. NEVER change the litter.

While camping I would scoop and put in regular trash. If you are boon docking then we would have a bin/box outside camper/perhaps on the bumper where we could store until we find a place to put trash.

Just use heavier trash bags. We travel with a "Luggable Loo" (for human use) which is lined with a WAG bag and we use cheap/heavy kitty litter to solidify the contents. No problems.

I trained my cat to use pee pads. I just poured a couple of cups of cat litter on top of the pad and decreased the amount over a 10 day period. Now, I only use pee pads.I have virtually no cat odor in my house and no litter mess.

Switch the litter to wood pellets.
