I've been trying to tell our local councillor about compostable dog waste bins we saw on our travels round Europe. Unfortunately, I can't remember where we saw them !

The waste is scooped up in a biodegradable bag and then dropped into a slot in a lidded pit sunk into the ground. No need to empty or service.

Please can anyone help ? Have you seen one of these ?

I haven't seen them used commercially, but I used to have a similar sort of thing in the garden.

Thanks Lesley...yes, that's the idea but the one we saw was no maintenance at all - ideal for our local authority who are having problems with over-flowing dog waste bins and a low budget for emptying.

We're pretty sure we saw one in the corner of the field ( Hudson's Field ?) near Old Sarum, across from the Salisbury C&CC site but I'm sure we saw one this holiday as well . It might have been in Austria. One day the answer will pop out of my failing memory.

I think our local councillors would prefer Austria to Salisbury if they have to do a fact-finding trip.....

In 2001 I inherited one like Lesley's link and find it a complete waste of space and money. Spent out on special "Bioactivator" a couple of times but the silly thing just fills up in no time and we only have one medium sized Lab+

Don't know about compostable dog waste latrines but you can buy biodegradable dog waste bags from
