Pet WasteBag it for your bayou!Dog waste can be delt with in three ways but first you must pick it up! Then you can: 1. Throw it in the trash 2. Flush it down the toilet - only the poo, not the bag! 3. Bury it in your yard - dig a hole about 6 inches deep away from you garden, bury the poo and the microbes in the soil will break it down naturally. Cat waste collected in a litter box should always be thrown away and never flushed down the toilet. Cat feces contains different pathogens than human waste and these are not removed at the waste water treatment plant.
