Dog walks provide exercise, fresh air and valuable time with your pet. They also come with one unavoidable responsibility: picking up after your dog.
Cleaning up dog waste keeps parks, beaches, footpaths and shared spaces cleaner and safer. The type of bag you use also matters.
Bonnie Bio compostable dog poo bags provide a strong, leak-resistant alternative to conventional plastic bags without making everyday dog walks less convenient.
Why Is Picking Up Dog Waste Important?
Dog waste left in public spaces is unpleasant and unhygienic. When it rains, waste can also be washed from paths and grass into stormwater drains and waterways.
Picking up after your dog:
-
Shows respect for neighbours and other park users
-
Keeps footpaths and public spaces cleaner
-
Reduces contact between people, pets and dog waste
-
Helps prevent waste from entering stormwater
-
Supports responsible dog ownership
-
Helps owners comply with local council requirements
Always carry enough bags for the entire walk and dispose of used bags according to local council instructions.
What Makes a Good Dog Poo Bag?
An environmentally considered bag must still be practical and reliable.
A good dog waste bag should be:
-
Strong enough for hygienic collection
-
Leak-resistant
-
Large enough for the dog
-
Easy to separate from the roll
-
Simple to open and tie
-
Compact enough to carry
-
Supported by clear environmental certification
-
Supplied with disposal and storage instructions
A bag that tears or leaks is inconvenient and may require double-bagging, creating additional waste.
Why Choose Compostable Dog Poo Bags?
Conventional plastic dog waste bags may be used for only a few minutes before being discarded.
Bonnie Bio dog poo bags are made using cornstarch-based material and certified for home compostability under Australian Standard AS 5810. They provide a plant-based alternative for dog owners who want to reduce their reliance on conventional plastic.
Compostable certification does not mean the bags can be discarded outdoors or placed in every green bin. They must still be collected and disposed of responsibly.
Strong, Durable and Leak-Resistant
Nobody wants a dog poo bag that feels thin or unreliable.
Bonnie Bio compostable dog waste bags are designed to be strong, durable and leak-resistant. This provides greater confidence when cleaning up after dogs of different sizes.
Before every use:
-
Separate the bag carefully along the perforation.
-
Check for visible damage.
-
Place your hand fully inside the bag.
-
Collect the waste without touching the outside.
-
Turn the bag inside out.
-
Tie it securely.
-
Place it in the appropriate bin.
Wash or sanitise your hands as soon as practical after handling pet waste.

How Should Used Dog Poo Bags Be Disposed Of?
Check your local council’s waste rules.
Many Australian councils require bagged dog waste to be placed in the general waste bin. Dog waste and compostable dog bags should not automatically go into FOGO or ordinary home compost because pet faeces may contain pathogens.
Do not:
-
Leave filled bags beside paths or trees
-
Place them beside an overflowing bin
-
Throw them into drains or waterways
-
Put them into recycling
-
Place them in FOGO without council approval
-
Use pet-waste compost on edible plants
Where permitted, a dedicated in-ground pet-waste composting system may be an option. It should be positioned away from vegetable gardens and edible plants.
How Should Unused Compostable Bags Be Stored?
Compostable bags respond to environmental conditions differently from conventional plastic.
Store unused rolls:
-
In a cool, dry place
-
Away from direct sunlight
-
Away from heat and moisture
-
Inside their original packaging where possible
Bonnie Bio dog poop bags have a natural shelf life, so purchase quantities that match your expected usage.
