earth day: dog 'waste'


Use biodegradable bags

There are many biodegradable options to use while on the go. Reusing plastic bags may seem good enough, but these types of plastics take up to a thousand years to disintegrate in a landfill.

Consider composting

Keep in mind that Fido’s waste contains nutrients, bacteria and parasites that can be harmful to humans, but you can safely compost it. Use a separate bin buried far from your garden and water source. Read the USDA’s recommendations on pet composting here.

Flush it

Your septic and sewer system is designed to safely process and transfer waste, so why not flush your pet’s waste too? Use something biodegradable like a paper towel or flushable bags.
