Doggie Dunnies

The City of Burnside has installed four Doggie Dunnies in popular dog walking areas.

These bins are specifically designed for the disposal of dog waste in compostable bags. The green compostable bags are provided throughout our parks and reserves. The contents of the bins are sent for composting rather than ending up in landfill.

Dog owners can dispose of dog waste in one of the Doggie Dunnies. If you’re at home, dog waste can be placed in the green organics bin, along with your food and gardens organics. If you are using a bag in a green bin, make sure it’s compostable!

Why is it important to compost dog waste?

This exciting new initiative will reduce the amount of organic waste being sent to landfill. Sending dog waste to be composted is about five times cheaper than sending it to landfill. The composting process is also environmentally beneficial because it produces less greenhouse gasses than decomposition in landfills.
