Many people who own cats often wonder how to properly dispose of used litter. The simplest and most immediate method seems to be to flush it down the toilet. However, you should know that not all litters are suitable for this disposal method. In this detailed article we discuss the aspects to consider.

1. What are the different types of cat litter?

There are several categories of litter:

• Clumping clay litter : This type of litter is the most common, but it is generally not recommended to flush it down the toilet as it can cause blockages.

• Silica litter : Absorbent and less odorous, this litter is also not suitable for toilets.

• Biodegradable litter : Like litters made from plants, recycled paper or wood. These litters are often more suitable for flushing down the toilet, but caution should always be used.

• Mineral litter : Usually made of small pebbles, this litter is not suitable for flushing down the toilet.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of flushing litter down the toilet

Benefits :

• This is a convenient method that does not require traveling to the outdoor trash can.
• If the litter is biodegradable, this can be an eco-friendly option.

Disadvantages :
