How is the Environment affected by dog waste?
There are almost 78 million dogs in the United States, all of whom poop at an average rate of 1-2 pounds a day depending on the size of the dog. That means they collective produce about 30-75 thousand TONS of waste a day. Flushing the waste allows it to be managed properly. Imagine what life would be like if we didn’t flush human waste. More dogs are living on smaller land spaces in cities and suburbs and this concentration of waste is what tips the scales and makes dog waste an environmental hazard.
