Kitty Litter Containers

[Avalon1984]

I was wondering if anybody here had a great idea on what to do with empty kitty litter containers. I mean the ones that have lids on them and the whole bit. Seems like such a waste to throw them away but I can't think of a good way to use them. Anybody here have an idea?

Thank you!

Hubby used one for a watering can. I cut the top part of and just used the lower part as a container to collect rags in before washing. I was thinking about using them for container gardening?

Well, I've used a few for possible bug-out (God help us) situations. One has medical-type supplies (band-aids, peroxide, alcohol, gauze, etc.); one has gallon ziploc bags with different kinds of cat & dog food (b/c God forbid they all eat the same kind :/); one has chicken feed. I keep them in a closet "just in case" we have to leave in a hurry, plus some empty ones. I didn't want to throw them out either, since they're sturdy & have handles.

There are more creative types on this forum who will have better ideas, I'm sure.

As long as it was unscented litter, Store food in them. Artificial scents will make the food taste nasty. You could store beans, grains, petfood, whatever.

Storing them for pet food sounds like a great idea. I will have to check though, I would assume it is scented litter but I will double check. I am really enjoing all the ideas. Thank you! Keep them coming

I have used them so far for nest boxes for my chickens. The next one is ear marked for watering my new grapevine that was planted, putting a hole in the bottom for a slow soak.

Mine are scented so I guess I can't use them to store beans & pasta!


They could be used for container gardening.

I used them to set plants in.

When I clean off the poop boards in the coop, I put it in a cat litter container. When it is almost full, I take it to the garden or the compost pile.

I get the plastic bags of kitty litter from Petsmart (it's a no-name brand) and dump them into the plastic containers. Novel idea, huh, to put kitty litter in a kitty litter container!

I have one with cat food in it for the barn cats. Easy to scoop out what I need.
