From the seattle metro recycling and waste management pages:
"The waste produced by Seattle's dogs and cats is about what a city the size of Renton or Kennewick, about 50,000 people, would produce. Unless people take care of it, the waste enters our water with no treatment."
Learn something new every day, huh?
Posted by Sonya at June 4, 2007 11:23 AMDo they give any specifics re: what we should be doing with it?
Me, I just scoop it out of the cat box, put it into double-bagged plastic, then put it in the trash with the rest of the non-recyclables. I always figured that was preferable to flushing it down the toilet, although like many other things, I could be completely wrong about that.

Posted by: joshua at June 6, 2007 08:26 PMHey, that's what you have to do when you're a cat owner - assuming you haven't gone to the trouble of potty-training your feline.
Not really any worse than walking the dog, as far as that goes.
