Just curious, I got a flyer today about a dog waste removal service. They say it's environmentally friendly the way that they do it, but they haven't put any info on the flyer. Nor do they have a website that I can check. It's late so it's not like I can even call them. Any ideas?!

Think back to nature...bury the junk!

Putting in in the garden/compost, for me, has always been the best bet. We can use it around our bushes and trees and in flower gardens. This has the added effect of keeping some critters away, because rabbits don't want to go where they smell dog.

On some of those pet catalogs I have seen mini compost buckets. It goes into the ground and you just throw the dog "waste" (LOL- or crap, poop) and it just breaks down on its own. try here-http://uniquedistributors.com/doggiedooley1.html
I have not tried this myself.

my parents have a dog and they just let it lie.. of course they live in the country, so it doesn't matter much.

If you don't compost, all I can suggest is making yourself a dog poop bin then getting rid of it in one huge go. It's not the most environmentally friendly ways but it's better than using plastic bags each time.

i recently made one of these.. it was working great but now that the temp has been below freezing it is backing up... i think once we get a good warm stretch it should be ok... i hope... will be a 'crappy' mess to clean up...

That is an interesting article. Thanks for sharing that. I personally have found just burying it works but that is hard to do in the winter so stuck on that aspect of it.

Wow, I didn't know you could make compost out of dog crap. Is it possible to do the same with cat crap? I'm just wondering because I have cats and I'm planning on making a garden this year.

I believe you can make your own compost with both dog and animal poop because it's essentially just a fertilizer. The only thing I would wonder about for cats is that their 'dirt' is usually covered up with cat litter so I don't know if any of the deodorants in it would be bad in the earth?
