I think it would probably block the toilet to be honest. The paper pellets I use for my buns are designed to expand when wet.

What about composting if you have a garden? My recycled paper pellets say that they are fully compostable, but sadly I don’t have a garden!

I don’t think it’s a good idea to flush used litter down the toilet. Paper litter is made to be super absorbant yet tough so it doesn’t crumble when it gets wet. I fear it would clog up your toilet/pipes.

There are environmentally friendly disposal bags made of corn (maize). Maybe that could be an alternative?

ETA: S&L mentions composting. It’s an excellent idea. It should preferably be mixed with high nitrogen plant matter (mowed grass) for best result.

Yes, that was a little bit of a dilemma with us as well. And I too believe you would eventually have a clog problem sooner or later if flushed. Composting was out of the question for us. All we could figure to do was use fewer plastic bags by not throwing them away after every cleaning. Several cleanings per bag. So we did put a significant dent in bag usage. But of course the bag would have to be tightly closed between cleanings and you had to master the coordination of breathing, holding breath, efficient disposal of contents into the bag, reclosing the bag, etc, etc. Oh the things we do trying to do and be good on all fronts…for our rabbits and still trying to be environmentally conscious…

I think it depends on what kind of litter you’re using and which country you are in. I know some countries disallow flushing anything down the toilet at all (including toilet papers) and require you to toss them in the bin instead. The piping system also differs from country to country so some are more susceptible to clogging than others.

I use wood pellets and it says on the bag that it’s fully compostable not just in the garden, but that I can even “flush it down the toilet” – yup it actually says that lol. I don’t do it though, just to be safe.

I don’t have a garden too so I do what Gordo and Janice does – using the same bag for about 3-4 cleanings. But just hold your breath when you open the bag between each cleaning…

I can totally relate! I have a big plastic bag that I slowly fill every time I clean the litter box. Then when it’s full I will bring it to my neighbours or my friends compost bin. Of course this depends on whether people will let you put your ra in theircompost bin, but I’ve beard that some small towns even have local composts, where everyone put their stuff in a big compost box. Then I just wash and reuse the plastic bag.

I compost mine. We were lucky that the previous owners of our house had built a compost bin, so I use it! I’ve actually used the compost already to grow lettuce, for the buns, and its fantastic.
If composting wasnt an option, I would definitely go with the using the same bag and filling it up to reduce waste.
