But what do you do with the cat litter? Put it in the trash? Spread it on the yard?

What about cat litter? Buy some cheap cat litter and let it soak up the 
excess permithrin from rinsing of the container or bottle 3 times and 
dispose empty, rinsed out bottle or container in trash. 

A pharmacist told me to use this method to get rid of old medications 
instead of disposing down the toilet or trash.
