For 15 years, there have been sites on the internet that claim to be “composting” dog waste but are actually proposing the construction of small sewage systems. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), dog waste is a significant contributor to water pollution. I assume if the pet poop compost is isolated enough then this will be acceptable but residential backyard seems dangerous risking the worms getting to human by working near the compost area. When composted properly, our poop bags are safer for the environment and will break down completely.

You won’t get compost to spread on top of your gardens from a pet waste composter, but the composted pet waste will feed the soil below the surface. I’ve noticed that plants near to the composter have become very lush since the composter was installed. Composting dog waste also keeps tons of material from being added to a landfill or sewer system that is already overwhelmed. Within 48 hours, the septic-tank starter (which is non-caustic and promotes natural bacterial growth) will have started working and you can add more dog poo,” explains Michael Levenston, executive director of the City Farmer opens in a new tab programme in Vancouver, Canada, who provided these instructions.

I think, in Germany it actually makes quite sense to flush the dog poo down the toilet since the sludge water treatment plants burn the sludge and win the contained phosphate from the sludge ash for agriculture. How can I transport it to the composting location from where she's pooped to discard of my dog's waste responsibly?

It’s not difficult, but you have to use a special composter that extends below the surface of the soil. If you are willing to spend the time to compost your dog´s stool, I hope that you use natural flea control instead of applying yet another chemical to your dog. Choose from the Original Dooley Prism or the Deluxe Dooley Prism which can be expanded to increase its capacity. The green plastic thing could easily be made out of a bucket, the main difference is that they have bokashi bran to use with it (they sell it separately).This fact sheet from the US department of agriculture gives super helpful advice and professional tips for composting dog waste. An acquaintance of mine has an organic coffee plantation; he maintains all of the plants only on humus produced by his worms. With a wormery we could keep up to date each day – no more messy surprises (dog poo seems to stick like glue to boots and shoes).
