dog poo disposal

darrenon

Hi folks

Just wanted to check what method some of you use??
I layed my slabs with this in mind and buried two pipes,One six inches and one 12 inches wide.I put the smaller pipe into the bigger and packed it up so as it floated in the middle and drilled varying size holes in both.
I then buried it in large stones and topped with smaller ones,then sand.
I wash the slabs down regular and disinfect every 2 or 3 days??

I have been told that this is illegal!!
That I should just put it in the waste bin but as far as I no your not allowed do that either???

Whats the rest of ye doing with yours???

Into a poo bag and then into the black bin. The dog warden told us this was fine to put into the black bin.

I don't think that it would be illegal, as it sounds very similar to the green poo bins you can buy in pet shops that you bury and then put small stones around. They are solid at the bottom, but with holes from about the middle up, you put the poo and chemicals in the bottom and then as it disintegrates, the liquid comes out and into the surrounding ground. Yours sounds like a fantastic home made job.:D

This thread reminds me of that movie Envy where they invent Va-poo-rize to spray on the poops and they disappear!

I scoop it with a shovel and chuck it somewhere else in the garden but we've got a very big garden. You could get a small plastic bin with a lid and line it with a bin liner and then empty the poo in there and every other week tie it up and empty it into your regular household waste bin.

Or if you have access to an outside drain where the toilet water goes you could scoop the poop and place it directly into the drain. Just using the pipes you laid to help drain off the water and wee.

I was advised once simply to put it in the loo and flush it; this was in the Uk when being reprimanded for putting it in the bin,, oh that was cat poo.

LOL I'll have to take a pic tomorrow to do it justice but we have a cutsey finding nemo bucket hanging out of a light on the fence that we use to collect the bagged poops and empty when it starts to fill. It just seems so wrong that Nemo & Co are smiling on the outside of the bucket when you think of whats inside! :pac:

Same here, my Missus was a bit peeved at first, but just looks away when I am going upstairs with the shovel. Just make sure you don't slip on the stairs!

I dig a two-foot deep hole in the garden and put a couple of planks over it. Pick up the poo every day and drop it in, and once a week add a bucket of water with a scoop of Bio-Activator (get it in the pet shop).

When it starts to get too near the top, fill in the hole and dig another. Guy who taught me this has a bright green stripe all along the edge of his lawn where the rich fertiliser has fed the grass!

I just scoop it up and throw it into the corner of the garden behind the oil tank.

I imagine if you filled a bin with it and emptied it every two weeks it'd really really smell . . . and attract flies . . . ?

I just pick it up everyday, double bag it and pop it in the household waste bin. The amount of poop coming from 4 dogs doesn't give me much other choice as any holes I dug would fill up pretty quick and there's no way I'm carrying poop into the house! I've a drain put in at the edge of the dog run to take the pee and to drain off the water from rain/washing out.The only problem would be if you hooked up a drain to your household line/threw the poop down a manhole.... Just make sure it's the toilet lines you use and not the rainwater lines

It's not illegal as far as I'm aware - pet shops and eco stores are FULL of those composters and chemicals for animal waste.

If it was illegal to compost it this way then surely it would be illegal for you to leave it sitting on your lawn... does that make sense?!

Ive two dogs so ive quite a bit but it mainly stays on the lawn untill im going to be using it BBQ or what ever then ill go around and pick it up and put it on the flower beds.

We used always just throw it behind a bush in the garden, once its not somewhere young kids are going to be playing or that wouldn't worry to much, it breaks down quick enough that you don't end up with a big pile of crap.

Do you think that that is too easy for everyone?

Seems so!

Ah well...

Our dog run was built near the little sewer lid where the human waste flows out of the house. We just pick up the poos every day and throw them down there. You lift the lid without looking, pop it in and it gets taken away with the next toilet flush!
