    Just a handy hint. I keep my plastic bread bags for this. My parents and work pass them on too. Never had to buy dog poo bags for a lab and staffy in 17 years.

    • +24

      Dude, how much bread do you eat? My two dogs would go through two bags each, every day, on walks.

      I presume you're just walking around the yard collecting nuggets with a scoop, because there's no way I'd be reusing the bags otherwise.

        Perhaps something like this….a bread bag would fit quite a lot ;)

            @DontNeedThis: “Avoid having to handle old Rex’s stinky turds by strapping on this poop collecting dog harness before his next walk.”

      • We go through a loaf a day. My work goes through a fair few loaves though. But not just bread bags. Bags you may have used for fruit and veg etc or wherever you may find them.
        Always have had enough. It only struck me that a few people wouldn't keep the old bags when someone commented on it at the dog park.

      Great idea. We need innovative ways to reduce plastic like this. We don’t have dogs but in our kitchen we reuse produce bags from the supermarket (the ones you put your broccoli in) again at the supermarket the next week. And also use them for putting spare meat in for the fridge, or leftovers etc.

      It can’t be too hard to find old reused plastic bags or packaging to use for this purpose, there’s so much packaging around and it’s just crap going into it so it can be dirty. I reckon even like old biscuit bags, cereal bags etc, but I’m no dog owner so I might not understand the mechanics of picking up a steaming pile of shit. 😷😃

      • +1

        Yeah, I'm always looking to reduce waste. It's tough to come up with waste solutions with how busy and bombarded the average person is. Just becomes a bit too much to add on to someone's plate sometimes.

        Rarely comment but thought I'd share as people have commented that it's a good idea.

        • +1

          Exactly right. The only motivation really is “doing the right thing” because time and money are stacked against doing stuff like this. 3c/bag, it’s so much quicker and easier so from that respect it’s a no brainier.

          My mother in law was telling me this week that when she was young, her mum and her would go to the local market or shop with a bunch of jars and have them filled up because packaging was not much of a thing back then. Seems like we really need to go back to that where possible because we now have twice as many people in this world generating maybe 10x as much packaging as back then, it can’t go on for much longer.

  • That’s a lot of bread!
    At the very least I need one a day on our walks.

      I would stop pooping during your walks if I was you - Gunna get caught…!

    What about the nature strip, anywhere but in front of your own house? Council's property I believe.

    Great quality bags, but much cheaper to get the 1080 pack if you don't need the bag holder:

    Sorry to be that guy, but just to be clear, it's 3 cents, or $0.03, per bag.

    • +1

      In Australia, after rounding it would be 5 cents per bag

      • +1

        Only if you buy each bag individually.

  • Can this be used for humans?

  • +3

    These are good for humans too, if you suddenly need to poop while out on a walk and there's no toilet around. It must happen to someone in Australia every day, you'd think statistically.

    • +6

      Those emergency poos are not usually the kind that can be picked up afterwards.

  • +4

    Are they biodegradable?

    • Seems not. Sadly present like they are but they are not. Seems that the company does to a compostable range though.

    If you're looking for a more ecologically responsible solution than essentially single use plastics, these and similar dog poop bags work well and are corn based so they are biodegradable. They're also equally strong. Highly recommend them and it's nice knowing your dog poop bags won't outlive you.

      Thanks for the link. Annoying as there are plenty of brands out there using names/labels like "Eco" and "Earth rated" which have zero eco credentials - not biodegradable or made from alternative materials, just plastic bags. Misleading.

      • +2

        That's a great point actually. It is a really misleading industry. Some companies advertise bags as eco because they are biodegradable. All that means is the plastic break down into microplastics more quickly, arguably a worse scenario. What is best to look for is "compostable" bags made from corn starch or natural vegetable materials as they break down into nothing. I wouldn't however recommend composting these bags in your compost at home though, dog poop is generally high protein. Still is a lot better than putting them into plastic bags that take 1000 years to break down.

        It's been a while since I did the research for this. Although the company listed in the previous post seems okay the company we use are actually is: https://www.ohcrap.com.au/pages/eco-friendly-dog-poop-bags hope that helps others!

      Yep I use these, they're great!

    Freezer bags from the shops work well enough, much cheaper too

    Or produce bags, they are free

    • +1

      Opaque bags are nicer, unless you like looking at poop.

      • Do you close your eyes when you pick it up?

        Do you admire your opaque bags when they're in the bin?

    These scented nappy bags work great at 1.6c per poop.

    • +1

      They are a bit small it depends on how big the loops are. These work better imo, I've used both
      https://www.google.com/search?q=coles+medium+freezer+bags

      Also, if picking up in your yard, you can pick up more than one poop, bags are air tight too

    • Never thought of this! Thanks for great suggestion.

  • -2

    I don’t recommend these at all. They are very thin and susceptible to tearing in my opinion. They are also fairly see through. The thickest strongest ones I’ve used are amazon basics and earth rated. Source: I’ve been working but way through a 1080 pack and I have a 50kg German Shepard

    • Not sure why you were downvoted. There's a huge difference in quality across different brands.

  • +1

    Dog park has always plenty of free, compostable dog poo bags, I keep my dispenser full of those

  • I use baby diaper bags from Coles/woolies.

    Not sure if it works out cheaper than this but much cheaper than usual "dog" poop bags.

  • +2

    I use freezer bags from Woolies and they are less than a cent per bag.

    • Careful, you might get downvoted for posting this. It seems people here are offended by logic

    • +3

      What do you do with the poops after you freeze them?

      • I think there's a term for people who are interested in what people do with fecal matter.

    Kmart bags around 2 cents each.

    • Thank you! Works out 0.019 per a bag compared to 0.032.

    • $20 + $8 shipping.

      • Sign up to onepass and then cancel once item is sent.

  • The same way the govt outlawed single use plastics, the should do the same for dog bags too. Or modify the law. This will force manufacturers to use natural materials like corn or vegetables that completely decompose in 3 months or so.

    I have a neighbour who just refuses to pick up after her white pomeranian. They let the dog run loose, unsupervised, on common strata property. The dog poops and goes back home. Poop gets left behind for kids, adults and other dogs to step on. Very frustrating.

    • Round it all up and put it on their doorstep
