I quit using plastic bags when shopping, now what do I do with the kitty litter?
Does anyone have a good idea of how to dispose of the kitty litter without using plastic bags? I only have large garbage bags now that I use canvas bags when shopping and taking out the large garbage everyday when I scoop the litter seems to waste more plastic.

I put my wet garbage into plastic bags and send to the landfill. Composting is not an option.
I have assumed that sending it through the disposal and ultimately into the river would be worse for the environment. Am I right?
I am looking for simple and affordable ways to help going green?
I have no recycling available in my area, and to drive that far would waste fuel.
These are two things I am doing that are easy.
Using clean and refillable water bottles, and buys by the gallon or more. No water bottles to trash.
Using shopping bags, I purchased two reusable bags for 99c each. Every time you use them you save 3c and no more plastic bags.
Give more ideas, please.
I live on a fixed income in rural Nevada, where recycling is neither required nor mandatory. I have a Safeway 15 miles away. Then the Wal-Mart is 75 miles away. Reno is 140 and Las Vegas is 300mi. So traveling doesn’t work for me. That is the price I pay to live a quiet live in the high dessert. So I need simple lifestyles changes to make differences for our planet.
