I'm looking for a solution to store our poop for weekly collection. We have a very tiny porch that's shared with a neighbor (who doesn't have a dog) so I'd like to put something discreet outside that doesn't stink and is classy as possible so no one can tell we're keeping a bucket of poop in front of our door
![]() It should be air tight (under a window and in the sun sometimes) and not easy to steal. We're in the city, lots of passers by, sometimes things that aren't nailed down go missing

There was a thread awhile back on disposal systems. Can't find it, but here is a google search for these type systems that use enzymes to break down the poo. Maybe this would be easier to use than store it for the weekly pick-up?
An inground container that you add chemicals to: dog poop disposals - Google Search |

I will search and see if I can come up with an idea. We use a trash can and double bag in it. In the summer, there is no denying the smell , so its far from the house.
I would invite anyone to steal it though! |

I use a bucket as well - it's a stainless steel one from the feed store and has a lid that fits quite securely. Double-bagged and with the lid on, it does smell a little but not horribly so. I have it on my back porch, in the corner. Of course, living in the country, I don't take it to the dump or anything ... when it's full, I walk into the woods and add to my poop dump.

That would be so nice to be able to do
![]() Unfortunately we have no land... The only outside space we do have is a 3 foot high stone garden in the front and rooftop deck in the back... Our neighbors would kill us if they had to eat outside next to our poop bin ![]() We're storing it right now in the green bin in the garage but every time we open it, the smell goes in the house or stinks up the cars if the windows are down LOL We lived in a condo before with a garbage chute and until now it's been fine in the garage because it was frozen and taken away once a week... Now that summer is here, we have to think of something quick!

in fact, that would be my first choice if I could find the bags for less than $.20 each. I thought of lining regular doggie bags with a tissue, then flushing it that way when I get home but that only works on good days... If you get what I mean

I use a flowerpot and a poop scoop, usually daily, so for me it wouldn't be a big deal to toss it in the toiti, not all at once of course! My dogs eat raw so have poop the size of a yorkie...and only go once a day on average.
