Now that you are picking up your dog’s poop using
biodegradable bags you can go one step further in the path to reduce your dog's carbon paw print. Here are
two options to dispose dog waste:
1) You can compost it inside biodegradable bags at home or in a local community garden that has setup a compost bin. Experts recommend keeping this setup and bin far away from your vegetable gardens, and never
use the resulting soil on anything edible; some pathogens might survive the
process. The best practice is to ensure optimum temperatures and layering.
Temperatures of 130 – 170º F for several days are needed to destroy pathogens.
“Doggy Dooley
digesters are a great solution to install in the ground to provide quick easy
cleanup for any lawn. It works like a home septic system by using enzyme and
bacteria action to turn dog waste into a ground absorbing liquid that does not
harm the environment. Just drop in waste, add water and digester, and wait for
the digester to work. Ideal for most soils except clay.” We have not found in
the market any dog poop digester bin that is made out of a recycled material,
so hopefully manufacturers are considering this, but at least the functionality and waste disposal is very eco friendly and easy to use. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) released
a study in 2005 with guidelines on composting dog waste. Also, Metro Vancouver has posted in their site a very practical and easy step guide on how to compose at home. Some parks and neighborhood associations are starting to use waste recollection services from companies like Cayuga Compose. A very practical solution.
2) Feces from dogs can be flushed down the toilet so they
are treated at a waste water treatment plant with other sewage. Don’t put dog
poop down the storm sewers as these are designed to carry rain directly to
creeks, which is not the right place for dog waste. Remember to check with your
local community if there are restrictions on this activity for reasons such as
a high water table.

arguments to non-dog lovers to stop having more off leash parks.
