Suggestion on best environmental way to dispose dog Poop from the backyard

Hi all,

we have a small backyard where my dog loves to do her business in the morning. So far, we collect it with compostable bags and dispose in our black bin. At least we are not adding more plastic, but this does add on weight for our black bin collection and also ends up in a waste field.

What could be a better option?

1. Compost ... there are composter for dog poop. Anyone using any in a smal backyard?
2. Flush in the toilet. There are biodegradable bags you can use to flush your dog poop in the toilet. On paper, that would look like the best solution as it would then be treated through the sewage.

For what I read, not all Waste management system can deal with the bacterias found in Dog Poop. Anyone know if that is the case or not in Ireland, in particular Dublin ?> or how to find out?

Any other advice?

Much appreciated.
