What can I use to pick up dog poo instead of reusing my shopping bags?
Picking up after your dog is very important as dog poo left on the street ends up in our waterways, contributing to E. coli pollution and possibly passing roundworm onto humans. Many people use their plastic shopping bags to pick up their dog poo, but there are many other plastic bags that come into our lives that are also suitable for picking up dog poo. Bread bags, fruit and veggie bags, chip bags, dog food bags, pasta bags… the list is almost endless! Alternatively, you could try using newspaper or a pooper scooper. Important Note: Do not compost dog poo as it can cause disease.
