Roundworms and their cousins ascarids may persist in compost made with dog waste.
Domestic dog poo bin.
Admittedly dog waste bins can be very few and far between in some areas but this is where a carrier bag comes into its own.
To make matters worse if we assume that every dog goes once a day and 1 plastic bag is used to dispose of each motion then 2900 million plastic bags are used every month just to dispose of.
If the dog waste is going into a household bin this can cause a problem as it will start to ferment in the plastic bag.

Some parish areas in south gloucestershire have opted to continue providing dog waste bins but others have removed some or all dog bins and ask responsible dog owners to use dual use bins.
My dog decided to do a poo on the pavement so i stopped and obviously picked it up in a small black bag and tied it up.
Dangers of composting dog waste.
Roundworms are one of the most common pests that afflict our dogs.
Many councils now only collect refuse bins on alternate weeks so the dog poop could potentially be sitting festering in the bin for up to two weeks.
Dog waste in compost can carry a number of unhealthy parasites that can affect humans and other animals.
Simply place the dog poo bag into a larger carrier bag and it s easily transported until you spot a suitable bin.
For this reason dedicated dog waste bins are no longer required and waste can be disposed of in any available litter bin or your black household bin.
The carrier bag is less obvious as a transporter of waste material and can hold quite a few deposits.
