I think the revenge poop disposal is the best suggestion.

My housemate used to tie her Lab to a tree with a 10 foot chain that reached the back door, so she didn’t even need to set her precious feet outside. Every time I visited, I’d gag, go out and clean up Honey’s 10-12 inch-deep circle o’ $#it into 10-12 plastic shopping bags. Housemate said, “Leave it, it’s feeding the tree.” No, it’s attracting flies, it stinks and your scentsitive dog is miserable because of your sheer laziness. Now I live there, so poop from 4 dogs gets cleaned up daily-weekly from the 1/2 acre yard. No more chains. I use a neat little tool I bought a few years ago and haven’t seen since: it’s an extendable rake/claw, about 30″ long when extended, with 5 close-spaced tines at 90 degrees from the handle. Just set tips of ‘fingers’ next to far side of poop, rock handle away from self to flatten tines along ground and pull towards self. Poop on tines gets ride to tilted, ready 5-gal bucket that doesn’t hold water. When enough poop is collected, I deliver smelly surprise to latest pocket gopher hole. Gopher gags, makes new tunnels…and the cycle continues. Kind of meditative, actually.

Thanks for pawticipating in the Scoop That Poop blog hop!

Mom talked to the guys who run our local wastewater treatment plant about flushable poop bags, and they said they had the potential to cause problems at the treatment plant, so you may want to ask your local wastewater treatment plant if it’s okay to use them.

Just now in process of getting caught up with my blog reading, so please pardon my tardiness.
First off, Fox News doesn’t warn ME about anything or anyone. Secondly, having lived in Greenville County, SC, for the past (nearly) 20 years, I can tell you that it is run by the same type of individuals as those who own/run Fox News. Need I say more? So, if you are an “eco-Nazi” so be it. It’s your prerogative and doesn’t bother me in the least. 🙂
As for scooping poop? With two Goldens and a Corgi/Lab mix, it’s a dirty job but someone has to do it…me. I’ve gotten to the point where it doesn’t bother me any more, unless one of the dogs has an upset tummy. In the summer, especially, I clean it up at least once a day — every time they poop if it’s raining. My neighbor, on the other hand, just runs over his dogs’ poop with the lawn mower (which means it just sits there all winter). So thankful we have a filtration system built into our fridge! Oh, and this is the same neighbor who now keeps his chickens in the same pen where he used to imprison his Bassett Hound that had to sleep, eat, and drink around its own poop because it only got cleaned up twice a year. I wouldn’t touch the eggs those chickens lay with a 10-foot pole never mind eat them!

We bag the poo and trash it, currently. I’ve been thinking about trying flushable bags, but haven’t decided whether or not I want to start paying for them when I can use old grocery bags for free.

We have contemplated purchasing a doggie septic system at a local hardware store. One digs a hole, fits the cover over it, and purchases enzymes that break down the poop. This of course would only work for poop at home.

This is kinda gross, but…my dogs are raw fed. Sometimes the day after a very bony meal, their poop can be very dry and crumbly/dusty. On one occasion while at a park, and I was a bad owner who forgot bags, Neeko had one of these poops. I used a stick and crumbled it into poop dust.

I use regular dog poopy bags. I like the idea of the flushable ones though.

We tried to have a composter type thing, its supposed to break down the poop and turn it into fertilizer with a special solution, but sadly our ground is too hard and we just ended up with a big smelly pile BOL
Great post and great idea.
