The PERFECT container - empty cat litter buckets! If everybody who has a cat (or knows of a cat owner) and uses cat litter bought in a plastic bucket (ie = Purina Tidy Cats in a 20# bucket), we could have a 30 or 40 bucket system installed along the wall in a month.
Here is a very small (9kb) image of the bucket = [image: Inline image 1] Cats love to poop and their caretakers (aka owners) are under instructions from the primary cat to remove the solids on a daily basis, necessitating more litter or a complete change in the box. The advantages of using empty cat litter buckets = 1. free 2. clean - free from oil, grease, organic waste, raccoon fur 3. has a lid 4. has a handle 5 did I mention free? Just a suggestion.
