It’s one of the first “company does something bullshit” that’s actually been actionable for me.. and the first that was something I’d done a lot of work to find the “best place” for. I get compressed wood pellets (sold for horse bedding or pellet stove fuel) there to use as very cheap compostable cat litter, 40lbs is $6, and if you have a good system one bag will fill 4 cat boxes about 4-6 times, so really cost effective and environmentally friendly. It’s like feline pine but not ridiculous expensive. Next best option is almost twice the price.. which is still ok, but man it still hurts.. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] JJROKCZ@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 child) Do you have a rural king near you?
