Daily dog ​​feces treatment

Method 1, plastic bag method

1. When you are going to take it out with you, bring a few fresh-keeping plastic bags with you to prevent the plastic bags from getting damaged. Hollow, it is best to put 2 plastic bags at a time to prevent dog poop from getting on your hands.

2. Open the bag, put it in the bag and check if there are any holes in the bag.

3. Grasp the bottom of the bag with your fingers, hold the stool through the bag, pick it up and stuff it into the bag.

4. Hold the poop tightly and turn the plastic bag over with the other hand. Remember not to get dog feces on your hands.

5. Tie the bag into a tight knot to prevent poop from escaping. Take it to the nearest trash can. You can also take it home and flush it down the toilet.

Method 2: Use a shovel to clean up

1. Carry a small shovel with you to avoid the nausea of ​​picking it up directly with your hands and accidental contact with dog poop.

2. When the dog poops, use a shovel to scoop up the dog poop, put it into a bag, and then throw it into the trash can.

Method 3: Use newspapers to clean up

1. Carry a few newspapers with you. But before that, you’d better train your dog to poop at certain spots on the newspaper.

2. When you see your dog about to pull, place a newspaper underneath.

3. After the dog has finished pooping, wrap the poop in newspapers, put it in a bag, and throw it into a nearby trash can.

Foreign dog poop disposal methods

CBC reporter Jackie Sharkey reported that in the first phase of the pilot project, three parks in Waterloo will set up such storage wells. Each storage well has a capacity of half a cubic meter and is emptied every two weeks. The dog waste will be transported to a treatment center outside the city, where it will undergo anaerobic digestion and be converted into biogas that can be used for heating and power generation.

Bill Higgins, head of business development for the storage well manufacturer, said the storage wells are buried two meters deep underground to keep them relatively cold and avoid letting odors escape. Of the three storage wells, the one in Bechtel Park will likely need to be emptied once a week. Because the park has a playground that allows dogs to be off-leash, the "gain" is bound to be even greater.

Higgins said dog poop contains more pathogens than both human and livestock feces, so it cannot be disposed of like other organic waste. The company that will work with the City of Waterloo is based in nearby Elmira and has a very advanced biodegradation facility.

The dog feces will be mixed with other organic waste and livestock manure, then heated, stirred and fermented in an oxygen-free environment for 30 to 90 days. The biogas produced is used to generate electricity after cooling and cleaning processes. The fermentation residue will be used as fertilizer, achieving the effect of killing two birds with one stone!

Three storage wells, Higgins said,Each half cubic meter is collected every half month. If calculated based on these data, each storage well can power 26 households. But this is just a prediction on paper, because no one knows whether the contributions of the dogs can make the vacuum trucks that carry "goods" come back fully loaded every time.

Dog poop is a headache for all park departments and city health departments. The city of Waterloo has a population of one hundred thousand. Mayor Jaworski told CBC host Jim Brown that the amount of dog poop removed from the trash cans in three parks alone is roughly estimated to be 60 tons per year. Higgins said dog poop contains large amounts of parasites, viruses and bacteria. These little creatures can survive long after the dog poop is washed away by the rain.

The technology for converting dog excrement into energy is not complicated. In fact, rural areas with a large amount of livestock excrement, as well as big cities such as Berlin and San Francisco where the "dog excrement disaster" is more serious, have long been doing this. But as far as Jaworski knew, Waterloo was the first of its kind among Canadian cities.

Garbage sorting: dog poop should be taken home and flushed

In the past few days, as the number of communities that are "serious" about garbage classification has gradually increased, residents have become more concerned about which types of items belong to which kind of garbage. There are more and more questions, especially about the more "unknown" garbage such as dog feces, hair, and animal carcasses. There are different opinions among the people and there are many debates on the Internet about which category of garbage they belong to. Zhou Daojun received an authoritative reply from the sanitation department: dog feces currently does not belong to any category of dry, wet, recyclable, or hazardous waste. Citizens are asked to pour dog feces into the toilet at home and flush it away.
