Can this pail be used for bagged dog waste in an area that has ony weekly trash pick-up?

Yes, I think it would. If the dog poop is already in a bag it should work just fine. It would not work if you use a scoop to pick it up, because you have to push it down through the hole. Even if you have a big dog, I think the hole is big enough for dog poop, considering how big some of the diapers are that I put in mine. I'm not sure if it will hold a whole week's worth of dog poop, but it might. Now that I think about it, I probably change my pail out about once a week, with about 3 diapers per day in it. The only thing to watch for is that after a few days it sometimes stinks when the lid is opened and you push another diaper inside. For me though, the smell goes away after you close it. But all in all, I would definitely give this a try for that purpose, I think it will work.

We bought one for dog poop and find that it's a little tough to push the poop bags down into the main bag because they are squishy, but otherwise it works.

not unless it's a tall one. It's a 50 liter can. I can use the regular plastic tall kitchen bags just fine. I think they're 13 gallon size. It's 9.5" x 17" x 23" high inside the can with the top off. The thing I like most about it is that the top holds the bag tight, so I can push down the trash without the bag going inside the can. The bag lasts longer that way.

No. It is not usable, but it covers larger areas to pick up dirt. Overall it can save you money. It does a good job picking up dirt.

Any company that picks up junk will pick up the contents, you don't have to use Waste Management Company. They charge more. But if you want to use them go online to their website and plug in your zipcode. I normally reuse these several times so I ask my trash hauler to leave it behind when they empty them. BTW, Tears on the bottom (after several uses) are easily repaired with duct tape.

There is a bucket with a handle inside that you easily lift out and dump . You could put a bag in that. I would not use water as that would make more smell and volume.

Yes. There are two canisters in the trash can that you can line with separate trash bags.

I use it for a trash can in my bedroom. I have a dog who pulls all the trash out no matter how uninteresting it is. Most trash cans have a foot pedal opener. Since I'm in bed the top opening is much better. My dog hasn't opened it yet, but it doesn't usually have anything in it that smells good. He might try harder if I threw leftovers in it.

Yes, the way I insert mine it would. However, I think you could probably be neater with using the bag and tuck the edges between the insert pail and the outside wall. It's a little difficult to describe. There is an insert that can be lifted out to clean, so I think if you lifted it up when putting the bag in place the edges of the bag should be covered, but I haven't tried it. Hope that is clear.

Probably but I save $$ by just using the plastic shopping bags given by the supermarkets and by not purchasing garbage bags at all. Any plastic bag with side handles will work as you fold the bag over the top and the side handles hook around the structure to keep it in place. We love ours as we have a trash chute in our bldg where we need to keep our bags of waste to a minimum- and the contraption conceals nicely under our sink cabinet. Highly recommended!!

I'm sure it would work just fine. I love this diaper pail because the smell is kept from the room so well. The only time you smell a bit is when pushing a dipar through it or changing the bag. The only problem I think you would have is how you would get the dog poop in the pail because with a diaper you roll it up and push it through.

I've found water to be helpful to ensure the waste "moves along". You could have a bucket, rain barrel or watering can in place nearby to add a bit each time you add waste. If your toilets, or neighbors toilets, get regular use and you do not have tons of dog waste to dispose of, I think you'll be fine not adding water. Just check daily to ensure there is no build up.

I don't see why not; you could use disposable trash bags or reusable wet bags to contain the diapers and the odor. You could use the pail without a bag, but I would think it'd be messier and potentially more odorous.

The bags would work well. You may still have to clean yur filter, but the vac with the peper bags inside works well and picks up just about anything.

I suppose it could be used without disposable bags. However, I would imagine that cleanup of it would NOT be pleasant. If she has any way of at least getting plastic trashbags, that would work. On a different note, I think this is a very nice gesture in offering help to someone.

Hi, As far as I know it does not use plastic bags (there is no way to secure a bag to the scooper). Since I use it in the back of my house on the grass, I store the pooper scooper outdoors, so I just use the hose to clean it. I like the fact that it is taller than other pooper scoopers and has a good "spring action" to pick up the poop. I've ordered several of these over the years because some of the "teeth" on the bottom break off (not sure if it is because I leave it outdoors, or I sometimes accidently pick up a little rock). With 3 dogs, I would say overall it does work well, I just wish it was made of a stronger plastic or material so the "teeth" would break.
