CW, if you do forum search on "kitty litter", you'll find dozens of threads where this issue has been discussed, as well as every sort of rationalization to be had. Angel

Nah, thanks but I don't really need to search for that anymore. I've done lots of research on that as well as other aspects of vandwelling over the last few years. My question wasn't really a question. It was an "I'm just sayin'" kind of comment.

No doubt so. As HDR indicated 'here we go again', I was pointing out that same old arguments have been made dozens if not hundreds of times.

Yes you did at post #3, and I had to step in and try to soften the effect on poor OP of such a curt reply, who had just made her 1st post to the forum.

As the garbage lady at YARC Camp I don’t ask questions like, “What is in your trash?” I pick up everyone’s trash and take it to the dumpsters daily. I use wipeys or plastic gloves when doing the trash run. No questions asked. I have a very weak stomach and could never change a diaper even so I refuse to think about it. I don’t want to know. If a bag breaks I’ll have to call 911 cuz I won’t be cleaning up the mess.

With daily trash removal and a well policed camp (not even a cigarette butt) we are not on the radar of the rangers.
