Eco-friendly pet waste disposal: what actually works (and what doesn't)

Marcus Avila 2025-10-08 8 min

Pet waste is a real environmental problem. A single dog produces about 274 pounds of waste per year. Across Riverside County, that's millions of pounds annually. Plastic bags in landfills make it worse. Here's what actually helps.

What works

  • 100% compostable bags routed to industrial composting
  • Pet-waste digesters (in-ground enzyme units)
  • Licensed organic waste partners with municipal contracts
  • What doesn't

  • 'Biodegradable' plastic bags that just fragment in landfills
  • Composting dog waste in your home compost (don't — pathogens)
  • Flushing — illegal in most CA cities under SB 1383 rules
  • Our eco-friendly upgrade

    For $20/visit extra, we use 100% compostable bags and route your yard's waste through certified composting or licensed digester partners wherever available. Cleaner yard, cleaner conscience.
