Composting Dog Poop

October 5th, 2010

A long time ago, I interviewed a friend on vermicomposting dog and cat waste.  I recently found this useful article on composting dog waste from a couple of Alaska government agencies.

It includes tidbits like:

Composting can reduce the volume of dog waste by 50 percent.

and:

REMEMBER—It takes at least 10 dogs, preferably 20, to generate enough waste to maintain a bin.

Hot composting is one great way to take care of dog waste.  And this 11 page document certainly takes you through a lot of the complexities, so if you have a lot of dogs or access to large amount of dog waste, you probably want to take a read.
