@ruthierose It’s used all the time in that industry.

@michaelchandler How do you price jobs ? Size of yard and number of dogs ? Where do you get rid of all the dog poop?

 

[michaelchandler]

@karengodsgirlk2 Number of dogs, not size of yard.
I take all the poop to the local dump.

@michaelchandler Man you should find a way to sell it to gardeners (if it's legal, I’m not sure if it's hazardous or what) but my mom would pay for dog crap lol

@sherigraham As others have pointed out, dog poop is not good for composting unfortunately.

@michaelchandler See if you can pick up some other biowaste too on the routes, turn it poops and all into compost and sell that.

Depending on where you are and the seasons, with active management of hot composting it is possible to turn biowaste into compost in 18 days or so. Just don't market for edible gardens.

@michaelg77 Dog poop makes bad Compost.

@mypeace I wonder if you can treat it.

 

[chrissie0555]

@staystrongmama It doesn’t do any tricks so no treats for the poops

 

[mypeace]

@staystrongmama Mainly too acidic

 

[jadahl84]

@mypeace The other problem is that it tends to have anti parasitics in it, which is in turn bad for the similar animals (worms, insects) that are quite important for making compost.

@michaelchandler Does the local dump know what you are dumping?

 

[gilliannno]

@lauzerus People that pick up their own dog shit throw it in the trash, which goes to the landfill.
