Disposing Of Dog Poop
27 Answers
For those of you who have a pet dog, if/when it poops in your garden, what do you do with it when you've picked it up?
We had a golden retriever sixteen years ago and for the life of us we can't remember what we did with it. As we're getting a new pup it seems a good idea to find out in advance how to dispose of its poop in an environmentally friendly and considerate way.
Thanks.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.OG, if we did that we'd disappear under all the cat, hedgehog and dog poop although I'm hoping once we get our new pooch it will at least deter the cats so there will be one less thing to deal with.
Chip, you reminded me that's what we used to do, getting a bit old now for lifting lids that heavy.
That was one solution we'd thought of Tilly, I wondered if there were any regulations about putting it in the normal bin.

Another memory has been jogged.
We bought a 'special bucket' thing with a lid, which you buried in the ground. The poop was put in and supposed to degrade and kind of dissolve, and leak out of the holes in the bucket, into the ground. All that happened was we ended up with a bucket full of nasty poop which still needed disposing of.
The reason I queried about the normal bin is that these days it seems a lot more rigorous about what goes in each different bin and I wondered if dog poop isn't allowed..although how anyone would check I can't imagine.
Thanks for all your answers.

ethandron, that was the dog loo thing I tried many times and no it never worked. I don’t think there is anywhere in the Uk where disposable nappies are banned from bins and people with a colostomy are told to double bag their waste, which is not, cannot be, biodegradeable, and put it in the household refuse bin.
Because of the diet, normal dog poo doesn't decompose out in the open like from cows and horses. It needs the microbes like in a sewerpond to digest it and turn it into more suitable components. Burying it does the same thing, only it takes longer.
The biodegradable bags seem the most sensible solution to me.
