Is bagging it really better?

We've had a few visitors ask how it's any better to pick up dog poop and pitch the bag: "Isn't that still garbage in a landfill?" The answer to that question is yes, but it eliminates the direct contribution of bacteria to local waterways (not to mention, it's simply the polite thing to do when walking your dog around the neighborhood). And biodegradable bags do help the situation further.

But besides bagging, there are even more eco-friendly options.

Another friend sent us a post about in-ground pet waste composters. You can find a slew of them with a quick Google search. And our pals at Green City Blue Lake have a post in their archives regarding the same subject, including how to create a composter of your own.
