? Which kind of bag—biodegradable, compostable, or recyclable—is best for your needs
What you'll use the bags for and your disposal alternatives are among the variables that will determine the
? answer to this query
Biodegradable bags are a good choice if you intend to use the bags for food waste. These bags won't cause hazardous methane gas emissions because they will decompose in a landfill. But if you're on a tight budget, biodegradable bags might not be the greatest choice because they frequently cost more than other bag kinds.
For dog waste, compostable bags are a suitable alternative. Compostable bags, as opposed to biodegradable bags, can be disposed of in your household compost bin. As a result, they won't occupy landfill space. Although they are more expensive than biodegradable bags, compostable bags are better for the environment.
?Which bag size—small, medium, or large—do you require
Most dog owners are familiar with the routine: grab a bag (or two) and ready to pick up after your dog before you go for a walk. But what occurs if you are discovered to be bagless? Or even worse, did you bring the incorrect size bag? It's crucial to know how to select the appropriate size bag for the task since nobody wants to be that person who leaves a sizable steaming pile of dog poop on the pavement.
A little bag should be adequate for tiny dogs. However, you will require a larger bag if you have a medium or large dog, preferably one that is large enough to tie off at the top. Additionally, if you have multiple dogs, you might even require a jumbo-sized bag. Running out of space in your luggage midway through !your walk is the absolute last thing you want
So the next time you grab some bags before going on a walk, double check that they are the appropriate size. The other pedestrians will appreciate it.
?How many bags will you require each day, week, or month
How frequently do you shovel the dog's waste? every day? twice daily? More? Two scoops per day would equal 14 times per month. And if you only use one bag per use, you'll need 14 bags per month. However, suppose you just scoop once every day. It still amounts to 7 bags each week or 30–31 bags per month. Those of us who own many pets are the next group. Since I have three small dogs, I scoop all the time. At least one 40-count box of poop bags is consumed by me every other week. That amounts to around 160 poop bags monthly! Wow, it really adds up when you think about it that way, don't you think? Pick up an extra box (or two) of poo bags the next time you're at the supermarket to be ready for anything.
