what do you do with the poo?

My husband and I are trying to figure out a better way to get scoop and dispose of poo from the garden. Right now we use a little gardening trowel and carry it into the house and flush down the toilet. Seems a bit unsanitary to walk all through the house with a trowel full of poo though. But if we got a pooper scooper sort of thing like this:

same effect - carrying a trowel full of poo through the house.

What do you do with the poo?

bag it and in the bin with the non recyclable waste , not a bad idea the toilet actually but don't think the wife would wear it

put it in a carrier bag and in the wheelie bin

No, I shouldn't think she would wear it - it's so yesterday's fashion!

Yep, same here.

I have a dedicated shovel and broom for the garden and yard, and deposit it straight into the wheelie bin.

On a walk, I use tissue and find the nearest bin, or recycle a supermarket bag.

Adult? Me?

I bag it with nappy bags and collect it then stick it in the trash every week for collection.

You shouldn't flush it down the toilets as it is 'stickier' than human poop and sticks to pipes !

Bag it, bin it x

the boys certainly isn't stickier or sticky at all!

I have my food recycle waste bin out front. Moo recycles food and her waste goes in the bin

Lol that's what I've been told and tbh I don't wanna carry the dog poop thru the house to the toilet !

Bag it bin it, quicker and less 'messy'

haha i just bag and bin so much easier!

Our local council says that you should either
a. bag it & put it in the dog poo bins,
b. double bag it & put it in the public street bins
c. double bag it & put it in your wheelie bin or
d. flush it down the toilet!

kind of pain to keep bringing it around to the bin, i guess we could put a bin under the deck with a black bin bag and put it in there then put it out with the weekly garbage (sorry, i'm American) pick up...

that's probably a much better idea that tracking it through the house.

thanks for the ideas. don't know why we can't come up with this stuff on our own LOL

We bag it and throw it in a bin outside

Bum gravy!

I scoop it into a big pile and the after a couple of weeks flick the whole lot over the neighbours fence... Not realy. Dont seem to have a prob as it seems to break down quite quik. A few good rain showers and its gone

Lola has her very own bin out the back and so i just bag it, bin it, then empty the bin into a rubbish bag ready for the dustbin mean

If you're in America there are a couple of companies that will come to your house and clean it up if you think it's too much of a hassle: http://www.doodycalls.com/ http://www.poop911.com/ http://www.pooperoni.com/

NO. WAY. God Bless America - love it!! I'm American, but I live in the UK (London) so no such levels of customer service > (hee hee sorry British friends, I had to say it)

after reading the above

Heres what I do,

In the summer I put them in poo bags and put in the garden waste bin. In the winter, as we dont have a garden waste bin service, I put all in poo bags, and take over the canal lock to the doggie poo bin. I am very lucky to have that close by, however I didnt know you could put it in the general rubbish recycle bin, so I might do that instead now

Depends on the poo, (and what Bella has eaten )We have scented poo bags,pick up and straight in the bin, other gag worthy not so firm ones are covered in sand so i cant see them !!!!

Bag it, bin it x

if you go on the governent website it actually tells you to dispose of it down the toilet rather than putting it in everyday waste

we collect it in poopy bags and at the end of our road there are dedicated dog waste bins ...i prefer this as i didnt like the poo coming into the house on the trowel and down the toilet

"what do you do with the poo" ..... throw it at JRT owners

We just bag it, as we would when out on a walk. The bag then goes in a separate small bin with a sealed lid, then into the wheelie bin on the morning they come to collect it.

We Have biodegradeable bags that we use. we pick it up, and put it in special bins, and it goes to compost. http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754407&lmdn=Cleanup&f=PAD%2FpsNotAvailInUS%2FNo

This is something alot of people have around here.

We got one of those 'loos' that you bury and put the poo in, every week you flush it with water and add a chemical. Sounded great - dont bother its rubbish - spent an hour last weekend scooping out mushy poo and flushing it through - yuck. Back to recycling supermarket carriers and into the bin : )

Hi we use bio degradable poop bags and put them in the outside bin/dog poop bins.

Bag em up and take them out on our morning walks to drop in council bin.. just hate seeing carrier bag fulls of poop lined up by the bin cos the bag was to big to fit through the lid ... uck!!
