Pet waste is full of bacteria and is a health risk to pets and people if not properly disposed of. It can be washed into storm drains, lakes, streams, marine waters and end up in shellfish. People and animals that share that water can become sick and even die. When you flush your pet’s waste, the water from your toilet goes to a septic system or sewer treatment plant that removes most pollutants before it reaches these water sources making the water safe for the environment and eliminating the pet waste forever! Flush it! This simple solution is the best one, according to most experts. Flushing dog waste down the very same toilet that dispenses yours is environmentally sound and earth-friendly. Scoop it up and flush it down the toilet. That’s the best way because then your community sewage treatment plant or your septic system treats the pet waste. Seattle Public Utilities, Seattle.gov
