You may say, "just leave it, it will decompose". Actually, THIS IS NOT the way to handle dog waste in your yard, along our trails & sidewalks, and in other people's property.
Here's why:
- It takes months for poop to decompose and in the meantime, people and dogs step in those brown, smelly bombs and track them indoors. Yuck!
- When it rains the rain washes poo residue into sewers and into our streams, rivers, and lakes. NO, we DON'T want poopy stormwater in our drinking water.
- Dog waste, like human waste, poses a risk to public health and water quality. Double yuck!
