Restmülltonne (residual waste bin)

Why

  • Cat litter is usually residual waste because it is not biodegradable.
  • Clumping or mineral litter must not be put in the bio bin.
  • Most municipalities dispose of it in the residual waste bin.

Some municipalities allow the disposal of biodegradable cat litter (e.g. wood or hemp pellets) in the bio bin. Check with your local waste disposal company.

varies by municipality

Before you throw it away

  • Remove solid excrement and throw it in the residual waste bin along with the litter.
  • Avoid flushing clumping litter to prevent blockages.

Rules depend on your municipality. Ask RecycleAI for your town.
