Fortunately, recycling is a way of life. Here’s how we can participate when taking care of our cats.

Instead of throwing away all those plastic bags, look at them. Some of them make excellent bags when cleaning your cat’s kitty litter box.

This isn’t garbage!
There’s certain types of bags that are particularly good to use: the right size, with an opening big enough for your litter scooper, and a strong enough plastic.

My favorite bags include: bread bags; chip/pretzel bags; supermarket produce bags (although doubling them up is safer since they can rip) and liner bags inside cereal boxes.

Once we repurpose these bags for disposing used kitty litter — then they’re garbage.
