Oh, the litter I just throw out when it gets old (by the end of the week)
I just pick out the poops and throw em in the toilet.
When changing the litter I just wash the tub (yes, I use a custom tub for a litter box)
and throw out the old litter. Its simple, you take a bag, put the tub in the bag horizontally, then lift up vertically and all the litter goes in the bag.

I use World's Best as well, so I flush it. Before I used to put it in a grocery bag, tie it and throw it out right away. I can't even begin to imagine keeping all that stored poo around my house...

Shopping Bags!!!! Thats one way to reuse those plastic bags that pile up. I just double bag to keep the smell in and they go in the regular garbage bag and then taken out to the trash can. I could not leave them in a container until it is full. I have two kids who knowing them would end up finding the can. eeek

After one very expensive trip by the plumber (flushing was a bad idea in my old house), I bought myself a Litter Locker. If you've ever seen a Diaper Genie, it's the same concept: you scoop litter into it, and when you're done, it rolls it up into a plastic tube. When it's filled up, you tie off the end and dispose of the contents; no muss, no fuss. If anyone is interested, you can order them online from Petsmart for about $20.

We scoop at least once a day (more if needed) and the clumps go into one of those ubiquitous plastic shopping bags. We double bag them, knot them tight, and put them in the garage by the door. My fiance tosses them in the outside trash can every day, and that bin is taken out to the curb for pickup twice a week.

I have dreams of getting one of those special cat toilet thingies, the ones that have crystals and water flushes everything away...but those are expensive and I have no idea if the boys would use it, given that they seem to like the feel of the grains of litter on their paws.

nappy (diaper) bags are my thing. They are the size of a sandwich bag and scented, then I just throw them in the bin. I use a small-ish binliner indoors, so I bring that lot out every other day. For changing the whole litter, I use an old swing bin, hang a plasitc shopping bag in there, knot when done and put straight in the out-doors bin (I do the whole emptying outdoors, too dusty for in here). Our plastic shopping bags have holes in them to stop children from suffocating, so no good for the daily scoop.

I found the best nappy-bags were the ones from poundstretcher or similar shops, the cheaper the better, as they are stronger perfumed.

Orig. from Texas.. Currently in Minnesota (again)
I do the same thing I scoop twice a day once while the kids are getting ready for school and again before I go to bed. It all goes straight to the outside trach can double bagged so the other neighborhood animals won't mess with my cans

I used the shopping bag method. I then tie it off and put it in the trash. We have a nice kitchen- the trash bucket is built into the cuphoard and it slides in shut the door- no smell! I used to have a kitchen trash with a lid. That would get stinky but we didn't have recycling and it would fill up quicker, and then it went out to the dumpster. Right now we take the bag of trash to the outside can when it's full. We have town pay to throw pickup. No flushing in this house- we have a pretty old septic we want to keep.
