SEVERAL LITTERS SAY THEY ARE FLUSHABLE, BUT I HAVE A SEPTIC TANK AND i AM A BIT LEERY ABOUT THAT. mY SOLUTION IS A COMPOST PILE FOR JUST SOILED LITTER. tHERE IS NO ODOR AND IT BREAKS DOWN. AFTER IT BREAKS DOWN, I USE IT ON ORNAMENTAL FLOWER BEDS AS COMPOST. iF YOU ARE IN AN AREA WHERE THEY WILL LET YOU DO THAT,YOU COULD DO THAT WITH YOUR CHICKEN FEED LITTER. BEATS CARRYING IT TO THE CURB. HOW MANY CATS DO YOU HAVE? I AM DOWN TO 5, BUT EVEN WITH 7, I FOUND THAT IF I TOOK OUT THE CLUMPS, A BAG LASTS A LONG TIME. i HAVE 4 BAGS AND I THINK THAT WILL LASTS ME FOR THE 3 MONTHS OF WINTER.
