In San Francisco since1996, biodegradable poop bags are placed in dog parks for people to deposit dog waste in special bins. The poop is hauled to a methane digester to be combined with plant material, which works like a composter. Microorganisms gorge on the waste, producing methane gas, biogas. That is used to make electricity or burned in place of natural gas.

Dog owners now have the several choices for waste disposal. The waste and the bag can now be used on your backyard compost pile where both items will decompose naturally. It can be buried where both the bag and the waste will be eaten by microorganisms.
