I think the best bet (for those using green bins) is simply to dump the contents of the bags into the bin, then to composting the bags in a backyard composter separately. I definitely wouldn't recommend adding the dog doo bags (containing dog doo) in any sort of indoor worm bin. I myself compost our cat litter waste (we use compostable litter) - but do so in large outdoor systems, and systems that are totally separate from my normal composting/vermicomposting efforts. If you DO have a yard, creating a special composting pit for dog waste isn't a bad idea - you can even sink a plastic garbage can into the ground if you want everything contained (important if you are close to a body of water, or the water table in general).

Here's the information: http://www.toronto.ca/garbage/biodegradable_plastic.htm So I was considering putting the bags in my vermicompost bin, however, I am concerned it will smell. Dogs have very potent feces and it smells through the bag while we are walking. What do you think?

What do you think?
