That is really neat but I wonder how big a trash can I would need for our 13 dogs? lol We had looked into something like this because we have so much POOP! lol
really how many dogs can you do per can?

Im in the military, so i cant do this, but I am just curious, why doesn't everyone just bag up the poop and put it in the garbage can for the garbage man...lol

angelbaby

I dont know about where all you are but putting feces in the garbage is illegal here and if caught you face a high fine. we have doggy doo removal here they leave a bucket and its like $10 a week you just put it in the bag lined bucket and they will pick it up weekly or bi weekly depending on what you need.

Stuff like this makes me wonder, if I am wrong. I just use my garden hose to wash it down and its completely gone in like a day or so......

So my question becomes, am I putting my dog at risk? I could set one of these up no problems, but if I am not putting my dog at risk, why not wash it down?

I think your putting him at risk , if your not removing it 1st. we remove it then hose it down . if its somewhere on the bricks or concrete we even bleach it every week. your not killing bacteria when just hosing it down so if you have kids as well your putting them at risk when they play outside. I would poop scoop 1st then hose down whats left.

Maybe I should have been more clear. He only pees and poops in the one area, about 15 by 15 foot or so (its where my septic tank is).

Not him or my daughter plays in that area.

I also use doggie wipes on his feet before we come back inside. But I could move it to the corner or something i guess......

Wow I totally toss my poop each week. I toss it in garbage cans up the steer or I keep a pot next to my steps I toss it and empty each week in the trash. Can't believe it's illegal where you are angel

I would have never thought that it would be illegal... I guess I will have to look into that lol, then again I'm only tossing poop from one dog and its still a puppy.

angelbaby

Amy alot of places have this rule in place and many states as well although I think it may change city to city . However many ignore or aren't aware of this rule. people should check up on there local laws and see what they require.

So ive been thinking about doing this but dont wana dig such big hole like a 55 gal drum, could you use.a 5 gallon bucket for just one dog, medium-small? Answers are appteciated thanks

Firehazard

IF you do this right this is the best way to dispose of your poo... Use the bacteria enzymes to break it down as needed. If you have a lot of dogs you will need a larger hole and trash can up to a 55gal plastic drum, or if you have one dog, just think of all the you pick up in a week and X 7 then that 4 and then that X 12..... .. you don't want to over flow your hole more than half is too full JMO. GREAT FOR THE SOIL and you can plant small shrubs bushes or trees around it with seasonal flowers and they'll do great providing dog are not interested in it. ..... There are kits and you can make em your self and get creative with the lid.. I did this when I lived in town.

I do something similar now on a larger scale.
