Many of our families have the litter box in the bathroom so they easily can throw the solid waste away, via the toilet. You never need to empty the pine pellets but just add more pellets to ensure that all the slits are covered. You just remove the dry solids from the top of the box and throw those away. The sawdust can be used as mulch in your gardens and is totally natural. The Breeze Litter box filters the sawdust down to the bottom Petmate Litter Pan for removal about once a week or thereafter. We use a full puppy pad in the Petmate Litter Pan. Instead, in order to have more head space for the sawdust, we use a Petmate Large Litter Pan (18.5"x15"x5" UPC Code:0 29695 22183 5) underneath the Breeze Box. We do not use the tray that comes with the Breeze Box. We are using the pine pelleted litter with the Tidy Cat Breeze Litter Box (Not their pads or mineral litter). When a cat urinates in a pine pellet litter box, the pine pellet turns to sawdust. Some cats take quickly to it and others will have to be transitioned. We feel blessed that this information has come to our attention and we can offer a natural kiln dried pine pelleted litter to our kittens and cats that does not cause any harm. Our last litter of kittens transitioned over to the pine pellet litter with no problems. Our Cattery is now switching over all our adult breeders and our family cats to a kiln dried pine pellet litter, similar to Feline Pine Pellets. We had used Fresh Step due to it being highly effective in odor control. We have used Fresh Step Cat Litter at our Cattery for years without knowing this. There are numerous articles on the inte rnet about the toxicity of silica to cats and their owners. Our very recent research indicated that crystalline silica could cause cancer. Thou the large Litter Industry says the amount of crystalline silica is low, it is still a concern of ours, in addition to the health problems to kittens, cats and humans from the dust that clay litter brings to the air. Crystalline silica is used in about all clumping clay litters. It very recently came to our attention as we were doing some research, that the litter our Cattery was using, Fresh Step, contained crystalline silica.
