I myself have just yesterday been online and ordered 200 supermarket style bags as we can find no other suitable bags for clearing out our two cat litter trays on a daily basis. If anyone has any ideas on THAT problem then I'm all ears.

The Unnamed super market was named on Twitter... It was Tesco...

We have the same problem with the ferret waste in the Caravan, so buy the coloured scented peddle bin liners from the boot fair/poundshop. There are 2 sizes, the larger one, which gets you 20 for your pound, or the smaller ones which get you 40, but the 40's are not big enough to get the litter tray into the mouth of them, so are too much of a pain to use, but to be fair are about the size of a carrier bag, so might be OK for you.

Only thing you do have to do, is when you shake them out, to open them up, seal the neck with your hand, and give it a gentle squeeze to make sure there are no holes in them, as on the odd occasion as you rip them apart, the bottom seal gets ripped as well, which results in a shoe full of Ferret poo... Luuuvvvlllyyyyy If it does rip, I just tie a knot in the bottom, which leaves it still big enough for our needs.

At home, we have an old bin out in their court, with a normal black dustbin sack in, and pour the waste straight from the litter trays into the binbag, then just stick it out for the dustmen. We do have to be careful not to over fill it though.
