But we discovered the Petmate LitterLocker Plus, and scooping as well as disposal has been much easier since. You just insert the roll of plastic bagging material inside the Litter Locker, tie a knot in the end of it, secure it to a wheel, and turn a handle 1/2 turn. Then open the top and drop in all the scoopings. Turn the handle again, and the waste is safely hidden at the bottom of the Litter Locker. On "garbage day," just remove the bag and contents and discard in the garbage can. I think it's a pretty neat litter box accessory, and it really does keep all the odors confined in side. Sort of like having your own personal R2-D2.

Litter Locker: A Place to Dump the Scoopings
Petmate LitterLocker Plus hides the waste
Franny Syufy
In the "olden days," we just lined a paper grocery bag with a plastic grocery bag, put it on the floor next to the litter box, and dumped the scoopings there. When finished, we tied the plastic bag closed, rolled up the paper bag around it, and dumped the whole thing into a big plastic "garden bag" to hold in our utility room until garbage day.
