Take three sheets of paper, two to grab and one to use as a wrap for the whole thing. You can compost it all, and most people have far too much newspaper anyhow. Or, if you're out there in a "wilder place," dog poop can be picked up and removed from the trail and tossed further out into the woods. Paper can be composted. It works. Your hands stay clean, too :0) There’s always the old favorite: newspaper. Take three sheets of paper, two to grab and one to use as a wrap for the whole thing.

They can use FLUSHADOO. FLUSHADOO is a flushable, water soluble, eco friendly, doggie doo bag. It is the modern GREEN alternative to plastic doggie doo pick up bags. It is safe for septic tanks and easy to use. Most importantly, FLUSHADOOs stay out of landfills, oceans and helps to keep our waterways and planet clean. Sadly, plastic doggie doo bags are both prolific and devastating. During the 1,000 years they take to decompose they leak a toxic mix of plastic particles and dog waste. Bacteria seeps into groundwater by poor dog waste practices. Our waste is strictly treated so why should pet waste be different? Dr. Gurminder Singh of the UCLA Green Institute believes FLUSHADOO is the environmentally friendly and responsible way to dispose of dog waste. Untreated dog waste is washed into rivers, lakes, bays and oceans by rain. Waterways are adversely affected by dog waste. Scientists have even labeled this concept "The Fido Hypothesis." Dog waste contains E. coli, Salmonella, Tuberculosis and Bellyworm. Though the EPA is gradually requiring states to comply with the Clean Water Act currently most dog waste sits in plastic wrapped time-bombs in landfills. In addition, over the last 50 years, every piece of plastic that has made it from our shores to the Pacific Ocean has been breaking down and accumulating in the central Pacific gyre which is now referred to as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Be part of the POO-LUTION solution, by using FLUSHADOO on your next walk with your four legged best friend. Say NO to plastic and join the movement by using FLUSHADOO.

It has a space for you to hold your plastic bags too. View pictures and instruction at the follow link: http://greenbeings.bravehost.com/scoop.htm You recycle and it is free. This design came about after a research I did about why dog owners do not bring their dog poo scoop and the bio hazard it can create if the poo is not discarded properly.

What to do with the waste? I've read that you should not compost it like dog waste because of the possibility of contaminating the soil (toxoplasmosis). Right now, we're sending it to the landfill because I haven't found another option. We use BioBags but in a way, it's kinda pointless since they won't biodegrade in a landfill. Any ideas?

" This is not a green solution at all. The enviromental cost of 2 - 3 flushes per dog per day is staggering. Bagged and properly disposed of in a landfill is much better in the long run.
