Important Disposal Information: We all share a responsibility to clean up after our dogs. When selecting which poop bag to use, it's vital to consider your disposal method:

Beco Home Compostable Dog Poop Bags, made from cornstarch and PBAT, are best suited for those who dispose of their dog’s waste in a well-managed, contained home compost system. This allows them to biodegrade effectively into the natural elements they originated from, leaving no trace. Please note, the resulting compost should be used for non-edible plants only, not fruit or vegetables.

While these bags can be disposed of in normal waste bins, it's important to understand that, like all compostable and biodegradable dog poop bags, they will not compost effectively in landfill environments due to the lack of oxygen and specific conditions required.

If you typically dispose of your dog’s poop in public park bins or general household waste that goes to landfill, we also offer post-consumer recycled poop bags as a more suitable eco-friendly alternative for that disposal stream. These come in both scented and unscented options.

FAQs: Understanding Dog Fouling Law in the UK & Ireland

It's vital for all dog owners in the UK and Ireland to understand their legal obligations regarding dog waste. Here are some common questions:

Q: Is it a legal requirement to pick up after my dog in the UK and Ireland?
A: Yes, absolutely.
In the UK: Under various local bylaws and national legislation (such as the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 in England and Wales, and the Dog Fouling (Scotland) Act 2003 in Scotland), it is an offence to not clean up after your dog in public places. Similar legislation applies in Northern Ireland.
In Ireland: The Control of Dogs Act 1986 (as amended) and local bylaws make it an offence to fail to remove dog faeces from public places.

Q: What happens if I don't pick up my dog's mess in the UK or Ireland?
A: If you are caught failing to clear up after your dog in a public place:
In the UK: You can be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) by your local council, which can range up to £100 (in England and Wales, typically £80). If you fail to pay the FPN, the case can be taken to court, where you could face a fine of up to £1,000.
In Ireland: You can be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice, typically €150. Failure to pay this can lead to prosecution in court with fines up to €3,000.

Q: Where am I required to pick up dog mess?
A: Generally, you are required to pick up after your dog in all public spaces, including parks, playing fields, playgrounds, footpaths, pavements, roads, town centres, shopping areas, and car parks.
In the UK: Local councils often have Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) that define specific areas where dog fouling is an offence.
In Ireland: This includes public roads, footpaths, parks, and housing estates.
Always assume you need to pick up, regardless of the specific location, unless explicitly stated otherwise by local signage.

Q: Can I use any public bin to dispose of dog waste in the UK and Ireland?
A: Yes.
In the UK: In most areas, you can dispose of bagged dog waste in any public litter bin or a dedicated dog waste bin.
In Ireland: Bagged dog waste can generally be placed in any public litter bin. There's no excuse to leave it behind!

Q: What if I didn't see my dog foul, or I don't have a bag?
A: Being unaware that your dog has fouled or not having a suitable bag is generally not considered a reasonable excuse in law in either the UK or Ireland. It is your responsibility as a dog owner to be prepared and vigilant. This is precisely why having a reliable supply of bags like Beco Home Compostable Dog Poop Bags is so important!
