Pet Waste

Disposal Options

Pet waste should be sealed in a plastic bag and placed in the trash. Waste from meat-eating animals should not be composted at home if the compost will be used on a garden due to pathogens that can be passed to humans. Cat litter and pet waste is not accepted for composting at the District Transfer Station or at town drop-offs. Flushing pet waste is not recommended as waste water treatment plants don’t necessarily kill the pathogens present in pet waste, which can harm marine life.
