poop disposal

After having read a couple of threads about scooping litter boxes I noticed that some of you scooped the poop into a bag to throw away in the usual manner. Seeing as how I have Molly's litter tray in the bathroom, I scoop with a slotted scoop, shake off all the bits of gravel and flush it down the toilet. Does anyone else do this, or do most of you dispose of the waste into a bag. Perhaps you use the bag method only if you use clumping litter... which I don't. Just interested .

I do use clumping litter and I bag it. Being as we have a septic tank, I would not feel really safe flushing any litter even the ones that are labled that way...that's just my thoughts on it though....for convenience sake, I would much rather be able to flush it and be done

same as above, we have septic and and i don't trust any litter that it is flushable. but i use a clumping, scoop it into a bag, and toss it out.

My toilet clogs easy. In fact it's currently not working because I tried to flush a single paper towel. Since I live in the middle of nowhere and use a corn based litter that degrades or gets eaten I dump the litter in a pile on the other side of the yard along the woods. It composts there.

Yeah Flushablity of litter is always ??? able for you septic or sewer

I use clumping litter, i am worried that it might plug the toilet

I use wood pellets, works great for flushing, as long as you don't flush tons at once

We have septic here as well. I'm pretty sure eventually the litter would kill my tank so I don't risk it.

I don't have a septic tank. And I don't use clumping litter, so I flush the poop. But when I do a full clean, all the dirty litter goes into a plastic bag to be disposed of.

The reasons I can think of for not flushing are that 1) most people (unfortunately) use clumping clay for litter and 2) Toxoplasma is apparently killing adorable sea otters in some areas.

Personally, I live in Missouri, I use wood pellets, and I flush the poop. Urine and sawdust are dumped in the trash weekly (no need to ever do a complete litter change). If I lived in a location like CA where flushing cat feces is being discouraged, then I wouldn't do it. I also wouldn't do it if I was using clumping clay litter (which I never would).

I read the other day that Swheat Scoop is "certified flushable" because it's all natural (no clay or other non biodegradable components). I personally use Odor Lockers, which is another fully biodegradable clumping flushable litter. I haven't had any issues but I've only been using it a few months now so I can't testify to any long term results. Also, Odor Lockers guarantees to completely block odor from cat urine and I can back that claim up. Now, if only it'd block fecal odor as well...
