Dog poop bag dispensers
Dog poo bags and dispensers are located on various reserves around the district. The green bio bags inside can be composted at home using a separate pet poop compost, or disposed of with general household rubbish.
Pet poop compost should not be used on vegetables or plants that are consumed by humans. You'll find instructions on how to make your own pet poop compost system on Compost Collective's website, or you can buy an Ensopet kit.
Dog poop bags and dispensers are installed in the following locations.
