I know this is not a very nice subject but what does everyone do to dispose of thier dogs poo. None of the options I know of seem that hygenic so I was just interested to know. Obviously I use a poop scoop with bags when I'm out and I have been placing this and waste from the garden into an incinerator bin to burn it. This is fine but not if the wind is in the wrong direction and the neighbours get a whiff of the smoke. I just want ideas on the easiest and sensibilist way to dispose of it. Thanks for any tips

I flush ours (one 'offering' at a time so as not to block it! ), in the downstairs loo.

We use old carrier bags and bin it.

I do the same. Bucket with a lid on, lined with an old carrier, then bin it.

Yep. Sam won't go in the garden at all since she was rescued so it's been carrier bags and into the bin for years now. If I'm in the park or beach there are special doggy bins provided so this is best for us. :)

bag it and bin it!

isn't burning poo unhealthy??? i thought the reaction produced a nasty poisoious gas?!

Don't know about that icequeen. Mine produce enough poisonous gas without burning the stuff:D

Sarah.

We lift the man hole cover off in the garden where the toilet waste runs through then flush it with the hose pipe

Wouldn't it be a nice idea if local council's provided 'poo disposal bins' for doggie owners.
After all they provide wheelie bins and recycling bins.
Our local authority do put a couple of dog bins around the play areas in the park, but often,where you might walk your dog,they just put up signs saying 'clear up after your dog or pay up to a £1000 fine' and never a dog bin in sight!
So I always do the same as most people on here 'bag it 'and bin or flush it,thank heavens for Tesco,Sainsbury,Safeway carrier bags :D.

We also use scented napppy bags when we remember to buy them from the supermarket, if not it's good old Tesco's, Sainsburys or whatever bag we can find in the cupboard!

Scented nappy bags, then in a carrier bag, then in the bin.

I keep a smallish bucket just for this job (pardon the pun) for cleaning up the garden. bucket half full with water use spade to pick up and put in bucket and then every other day empty bucket down sewer manhole. putting it in water first stops it smelling and also softens it so it does not block sewer :D lovely subject :D the problem I have is not the poo, its the wee. I have spent all summer trying to find the best solution for scrubbing down concrete with as urine smells awful :) how do you all manage this problem, so far I have tried bleach, jeyes fluid, some special patio cleaner that cost a fortune and none of them have really been any good.

Hi guys!
I started a thread about dog poo and what to do with it a while ago. The general consensus was that dog loos don't work (especially if you have more than 1 dog!), some people flush their poo (pardon the pun:)) down the loo or into the drain, but most people bag it and bin it. That's what I do now. I bought a small dustbin with a locking lid, put a dustbin liner in it and then everyday, I collect and bag it and then put it in my bin. I was a bit worried about putting it out for the bin men, but apparently, as long as everything is 'double bagged', it is ok. I've also now got the knack of taking one deep breath before I open the bin to deposit every morning:)

Write to the council and ask them to put up bins ,we had none around here so on all our walks we were carrying a bag of poo and binning it when we got home.Wrote a nice letter to the council saying I would like to bin my dogs poo but there were no bins hey presto one week later three!! red poo bins within 500 metres of my house there's only two now because somebody comlained they didn't want a poo bin outside their house but two's better than none.

Cheers

I was interested to read this. In our area we have countless signs all over the village - you know the ones "Pick up after your dog, penalty for not doing so............." but as far as i'm aware no poo bins to put it in - so i'm going to contact our local council :)

BAC to Nature really works for getting rid of urine smells - it is biological rather than chemical so completely safe for dogs (I even spray it on the dog if they have an accident!). Can be used inside and out and comes in a concentrate so quite cost effective (though seems expensive you don't need much - and the more you use it the less you need to - seems to have a residual effect). Also completely safe (if not beneficial) to plants. Fantastic product - well worth a try.
They're on the web - www.bactonature.com - you need the odour eliminator product.

Good luck
Janet

thanks for all your replys. Over the years I have always bagged and binned it but now having too dogs it just didn't feel right leaving it for the dustmen (unhygenic?) so it was interesting to here that it's ok as long as its double bagged and secure. I like the scented nappy idea as I know what it's like when you take the lid off the bin! I did think about the garden poo bins but I did have my doubts as to how well they work and I had considered the sewer method but wasn't sure if that would be ok. I agree that the councils just don't provide enough bins. I live in an area of Devon near dartmoor and the only bin I know of locally is at the local park (where dogs aren't supposed to go anyway!) If non dog lovers and councils want to provide a dog poo free enviroment then they need to provide the bins so there is no excuse for us. There are no bins at the forest, around the town or the carpark areas on dartmoor yet they want us to clean it up No wonder too many dog owners don't bother and then give the rest of us a bad name.
