Joplin The Joplin Recycling Center gave residents instructions on making a dog waste digester from a plastic garbage can or bucket and lid at their demonstrations in honor of America Recycles Day, Nov. 15, 2016. Dog waste digesters benefit homeowners, neighbors and the environment because they prevent rainwater from washing the waste and bacteria into storm drains and polluting waterways.

The district’s Project Clear's acceptable pet waste management options include: flushing down the toilet (do NOT flush plastic bags or kitty litter) and burying in soil at least six inches deep (do NOT bury in the garden).
