I have no more ground/lawn/space to build a decomposer or make a dog p**p septic tank for dog waste. Some of my neighbors just wash manure down the drainage/gutter. Is this also okey?

  1. Yes, toilets are designed and built to handle waste disposal.

    A p**p by any other creature is still a p**p.

    Good luck on p**p flushing!


  2. sometimes if my dog poos in the house I will flush it down, it is fine

  3. Flushing the stuff down the toilet is ok.   It's no worse than our own f***s, and it ends up at a sewer treatment plant to have most of the nasty stuff removed before discharging it into rivers.

    It is *NOT* OK to just hose it down the rain gutters.   The reason is that rain runoff is considered "clean" and most municipal planners have that go directly into the lakes and rivers totally untreated.  

    It never gets treated by a sewage treatment facility at all.   If you don't like the local beaches shut down so often each summer due to high E.coli levels, you can help by not putting your dog p**p in the storm sewers.  It won't totally prevent the problem, as that's not the only source of E.coli, but every little bit helps.    

  4. it depends, most of the street gutters run off into a water way, putting any kind of poo into rivers/streams/lakes is bad for it. The extra nutrients cause excessive plant growth and can pollute the water with bacteria.

    Flushing it down the toilet is a better option as it will go either into a septic tank or to the processing plant. Or just put it into your trash it will decompose at the landfill  

  5. I sure hope so. We have two indoor trained Chi/Poodle mixes and we flush poo daily and never had any problems.


  6. I don't see why it wouldn't be okay.  

  7. if u have a septic tank it will fill up a little more quickly but u can flush it or get a garbage can with a bag and lid and scoop up the p**p and get rid of it with ur weekly trash.u can also dig a hole in ur yard and bury it but make sure u are a good distance away from ur well so there won't be any contamination.i use the can since i have 3 dogs and it gets full pretty fast,then i double bag it and throw it out with all the other garbage.

  8. yes I do it all the time and hopefully you wipe their bottom after they do a p**p too
