How do you get rid of dog shit?

[undeterred]

No, not your Republican representative, the actual stuff.

I pick up after my dog using plastic bags and throwing them in the garbage- along with other garbage. Something tells me that there must be a better way to get rid of it, but I don't know what it is!

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Hose it down into the ecosystem.

Plastic is an abomination and an environmental nightmare.

[1awake]

2. well,

picking it up and tossing it over my neighbors fence has always worked well for me.






:sarcasm:

[undeterred]

9. Cindy, is that you?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

47. People in my neighborhood actually did that!

Except it was in the common alley way between the houses and not technically in anyone's yard. But they would actually throw their dog crap over the fence and it would pile up on the other side for anyone who walked by to see.

[DS1]

3. trebuchet

[Kali]

23. ...

:spray: :rofl:

[Whoa_Nelly]

4. Paper grocery bags and a pooper scooper

then into the trash.

Is there a better way? :shrug:

[dropkickpa]

5. an in-ground digester

think of it as a septic tank for dogs. Below is an unburied one.

[Wcross]

6. I have most of my guys trained to poop in the hay field.

The ones that insist on the convenience of right by the house are scolded & the poop is tossed into the field.

In suburbia I would probably just put it in the garbage can unwrapped.

[JVS]

7. The dog is usually willing to eat it.

[NewEnglandGirl]

16. Please, I've tried everything to stop that

I put red hot pepper on it and leave it there to set her up, she takes it and then goes and drinks water. :puke:

[hedgehog]

18. And then runs up to lick your face!

[NewEnglandGirl]

30. Always

or wants to cuddle!!!

[EnviroBat]

8. Hmmmm. Thought for any gathering of republicans.

[JANdad]

10. Ummmm....

Get rid of the dog:shrug:

No dog...no dog shit...

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. Mulch it.

Via the lawnmower.

Just don't tell my wife.

[LeftinOH]

12. If there is an open sewer grating in your area (and near your home)...

..just pick up the poo with a shovel and take it to the sewer.. thats what sewers are for.

[hedgehog]

17. NO! NO! NO! - that storm drain runs straight into local waterways.

Feces from pets can become a noxious pollutant!

[mopinko]

33. depends on where you live. here in chicago we have a combined sewer system

so it all goes the same place.

[hedgehog]

38. Straight to the river?

[mopinko]

39. no. it all gets treated.

we have a multi-billion $ thing called the deep tunnel to collect overflow from heavy rains so that it can be treated as capacity becomes available. (also supporting green roofs to catch that rain, too.)

[hedgehog]

43. Chicago - the city that works!

[mopinko]

45. yup. still working.

construction business is doing very, very well here. building new schools, libraries, police and fire stations, parks, skyscrapers, you name it. and that is not even counting condos.
i think we should take the old- the city that is too busy to hate. you should have seen the stevie wonder free concert on sunday. we were the most peacenik crowd since woodstock. people of every color. all groovin together.
i love my city.

[av8rdave]

13. Put the dog up for adoption?

Just kidding.

[hobbit709]

14. Put it in a paper bag

Light it and leave it on a Republican's front porch.

[undeterred]

15. The lounge is full of smart asses!

[hedgehog]

19. This is news?

[Deja Q]

20. With a Ski-Doo!

It's got two scoops up front. And that's not raisin bran either...

[Peregrine Took]

21. Uh, its almost dinner time - couldn't you phrase that with a little more

delicacy?

thanks.

[LostInAnomie]

22. Fling it into the neighbors yard.

Works every time.

[Kali]

24. dung beetles and healthy soil

if I lived in town I would probably use one of those in-ground composters

[MichiganVote]

25. Blowtorch

[Runcible Spoon]

26. flush it.

:shrug:

[mopinko]

34. this is the best.

although i cop to the plastic bag/garbage thing. but they are starting to work a little harder on recycling here, so i think i will start taking it to the basement bathroom to flush it.

[mwooldri]

27. 1. Move to the country. 2. train your dog to go in the woods.

For some reason Shadow (our husky) is very self-conscious of anyone watching her do her business - she much prefers to do it in private in the woods.

[LeftyMom]

28. You could compost it

http://www.plantea.com/dog-waste-compost.htm

[Blue Diadem]

29. You could get the doggie dooley pet waste disposal system

http://www.doggiedooley.com/

We always double bagged it and threw it in with the garbage.

[NewEnglandGirl]

31. If any of your yard is wooded

you can throw it there, I do what you do with the bags.

[bonito]

32. I don't

I just let em go out back they usually pick an area to go indicated by the smell, I just stay away from it.

[bluesbassman]

35. Well, I have a neighbor who constantly bitches

when I tune up my dirtbikes in the backyard at 2:00am (totally unreasonable of him I know, but he's an ass, what can I say?) Anyway, to reward him for for his total commitment to correcting my shortcomings, I have designed a rather novel method of disposing my dog's lawn biscuits. While he was away on vacation, I installed a pet door in the fence that is obscured on his side by a hydrangea bush. I then trained my Boxer to discreetly sneak into his yard and deposit her trophies on the dichrondra that grows next to his koi pond.

It seems to be working out OK, as the dichondra is thick enough that he doesn't see Maui's mounds, and he must think his wife's Bichon Frise has stomach problems because now he spends more time yelling at his kids to clean up the dog mess than he does at me to quit firing up my 250 in the middle of the night.

[ForrestGump]

36. Vote it out of office

in November.

[HughBeaumont]

37. Al Jaffee wrote and drew an entire piece on this subject matter in a 70s MAD Magazine.

It's in multiple Super Specials . .. all these elaborate inventions and gadgets, including one that involves safely redistributing the offending matter in a gift box.

Had you not written that first sentence, the first thought that crossed my mind was "Impeach and Imprison him!"

[hedgehog]

40. I don't have to deal with it at all since I never go to the

Free Republic site!

[one mean sheath]

41. do you garden?

[undeterred]

42. So this morning my dog wrapped his lead around a bush

and couldn't get free till I rescued him. He had shit all over one paw and on his back. So here's how you get rid of dogshit on the dog: Johnson's Baby Shampoo.

[guitar man]

44. lawn mower

:evilgrin:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

46. Va-Poo-rize

"Where does the shit go? We want to know!"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326856/

I think I might very well be the only person who ever saw, and enjoyed, that movie. Extremely dumb, but it had me laughing nonetheless.
