There are a number of ways to repurpose pet waste into a useful soil enhancer.

How it’s done depends on available resources, community support, pet population and other factors, including climate and proximity to water.

That’s why there’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to solutions. There’s no single system that works best for households, shelters, parks, animal hospitals, hiking trails, kennels, pet day cares or any other establishments aiming for zero pet waste.

The three key options are:

1. Composting
2. Biodigestion
3. Waste Water Treatment

Check these out and consider which one best suits your situation and location. It also helps to talk through possible choices with knowledgeable advisors and walk through your process with people who have already had success.

Once you’ve settled on a system, you’re on your way to planning and putting your poop back in the loop!
