Of course, once the litter is used, the plastic bucket makes a good container for “used” (yuck!) litter. That said, I use the kind that comes in a 40 pound sized cardboard box that is nearly impossible to tear down or find an alternative use for. I used to use the plastic tub stuff for my two kitties, but didn’t strike on the obvious use for the tub until recently. (Is it that obscure a use? Apparently it is or I’m just too dense to realize it till my two cats are really particular about the stuff in their litter box needing to be the stuff from the indestructible 40 pound cardboard box and won’t use the stuff in the handy plastic tub.)
I only have 4 or 5 of those empty cat litter containers (the 20 or so lb size), and I’ve actually had all the spares full. Once. While emptying the impossible-for-wife-to-handle 40 lb or so size into them. I’ve also used (one) to carry a lot of water to the job site (not for drinking). And you can cut them apart into plastic pieces that are big enough and flat enough to be useful for the odd (i.e. “weird”) maintenance job on something else.
Pet stores now sell them in sacks. That’s all I ever get, now that I have about half a dozen ‘water" buckets. I don’t see anything telling me these buckets can be recycled.

Big lesson in panel three. She is, at heart, a capitalist, wanting to be paid for someone else’s labor.

I’d do that for four bucks. Maybe not if I had to carry it for ten blocks, but do they?
