want it now: robotic pet poop composter!
Last year, I was excited about our DIY dog poop composter, but that excitement waned once I started reading the comments and their links to all the negatives of composting pet poo in one’s own yard. We did use our composter up to a point, but let’s just say input (read: two very big mastiffs) overpowered space available, and with some of the bad environmental reports we read, we decided to suspend that project. So I was very excited when Leah at More Ways to Waste Time sent me this link about Samu, a robotic pet poop composter that is also ridiculously cute. According to hometone, it can decompose 600-1000g of waste per day. The downside? It costs $900! But if you want to look into purchasing one anyway, Crunchgear has links on where to start. –Mary T.

This composter is probably only intended for folks with small dogs. 1000 grams, (maximum input per day) is only just over two pounds of waste material.

Oh, I know. Even with as big as our dogs are, I’d say two pounds per day is about right.

wow. i remember your original post (and was one of the naysayers because i’d looked into pet poop composting). i hope someone takes this idea & runs with it and makes something affordable.
