Actually, if you buy a large quantity, the price goes down accordingly -- to about 11 cents per bag.

I use flush puppies because there are no outdoor trashcans in my neighborhood. They're more expensive than regular bags. But, to me it's worth it to not have to throw a bag of dog poop in my garage trash can. We don't have a septic system though.

It'll stink up your outhouse, as well.

Who in this area is possibly on a septic system??

That is not exactly the norm for a major metro area.

OP here. There are companies that make bags that break down in water. See

Most of the poop bags that are being sold with the little holders you put on the end of the leashes are biodegradable. You can go to Amazon and get like 700 bags with a dispenser for $25. I have no idea if they are flushable. We've never tried it. I just throw ours out in our cans.

Anyone have experience with these? I like the idea of being able to flush away dog poop instead tossing it along wih a plastic bag into the garbage.
