How do you dispose of your ferret’s poop?

dog poop bags


I have 2 ferrets whose litterbox I empty twice a day. For their litter I use a combo of recycled cardbord stuff made for small animals and shredded mail.
The problem is– I empty it into plastic grocery bags and throw them in the trash. It makes me cringe every time, but I just don’t know what to do instead.
I’ve seen that they make biodegradeable dog poop bags, but those are too small. Composting is out of the question because, as you know if you own a fuzzy, their waste smells horrible! I was thinking of trying to flush it, but I think my husband would have a heart attack because of cardboard and paper and the septic system.
What can I use?

dog poop bags


Most of the people that live at our condo complx are very responsible dog owners with well trained dogs, and carry their own baggies. The association is against putting up “doggie pick up stations” like at parks, assuming the responsible people are OK, and it won’t cure the irresponsible ones, and will add unfair extra cost for own non-pet-owner residents. We’ve tried notices in our association newsletter, they’ve ignored. I put up “curb you dog” signs in my window, they left fresh big poops below the sign. I put the sign in my car by the fields, they keyed my car. I’ve talked to the township, but they said we need pictures and “evidence” in order to press charges. We talked to some of the people personally, only to get nasty comebacks or lame excuses of “bad back” or “bags in the mail”. Finally I tied up baggies to the courtyard lighting and trees, but this could get me in trouble for putting items in common areas. Any way to train these owners NICELY?
NICELY AND LEGALLY PLEASE
Yes, there is some kind of personal retialition going on. And I’ve talked to the Bd, they don’t consider it a priority, most of the Bd is in Single Fam homes in our community and dont see it or experience it.
