I scoop on an as and when needed basis- I have the litter scoop on a
hook next to the boxes then completely dump the litter from one box
and wash it on a Sunday- I suppose for the moment I only need 2 boxes
but I still have 3 out

I use scoopable litter and scoop a couple of times a day.
I've learned that the more careful I am about scooping, the
clumps don't break up, and I don't have to change the
whole box of litter so often.

We scoop twice a day and completely change the litter every two weeks -
or as needed. We have 5 litter boxes for our 4 cats.

Being retired I am usually home so I scoop whenever one of my 5 uses
the litter boxes. I am usually waiting for them to finish so I can
scoop it and I think they realize that because when I am here they
usually do not bother burying it!!

Same here. I have an extra box, so when I do need to change it, I switch
boxes, wash the one I'm replacing and let it air until the next time I
switch.

Of course, it could depend on how many cats one has. I have two.

I remember reading that the standard rule is: One box for every cat,
plus one. This isn't always true. I have four cats, and had five
boxes.
One of the boxes, no one ever used, so I took it up. There's another
box now that no one ever uses. So I'm thinking of taking *it* away,
which
will make us three boxes for four cats.
But my fear is that as soon as I remove it, *someone* will go "I was
going to use that box." And pee in the floor where it used to be.

Morning and night. We're using Feline Pine exclusively now. We only throw
away the poo, the dust goes in the compost bin. Very efficient and very good
for the soil.

Incidentally, I found a much cheaper way to use pine pellets. Feline Pine
and Feline Fresh are very similar and both cost about $8 for a 20-lb. bag.
We learned that feed stores sell a product called Equine Fresh which is (as
far as I can tell) identical to Feline Pine, except it only costs around
$6.50 for a 40-lb. bag. Feline Pine doesn't even come in 40-lb. bags.

I use Biocatolet recycled paper litter, so it's easy to grab offending
solids with a hank of toilet paper and flush the whole lot down the
toilet. It all breaks down really quickly.

I change the litter every two or three days, depending on the weather
and how much it's been used for weeing in.
