Kitty litter: How do you dispose of it while on the road?
The stuff weighs a good ten pounds and will stretch a plastic bag. How do you treat kitty litter when it becomes time to change it out while on the road?

Something I didn't know. So would an rver put dog waste down the rv toilet?
Flushing dog poop down the toilet – without a bag, only the waste – is perhaps the best disposal method, says the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Resources Defense Council. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into storm drains, and eventually into local waterbodies.
But cat feces should never be flushed, as it may contain Toxoplasma gondii, a parasite that can infect people and animals. Municipal water treatment systems do not always kill this parasite.
