The Poop

Pet Camp is part of an experimental pilot program on composting dog poop. In conjunction with Sunset Scavenger and the City of San Francisco, we are now composting the dog waste generated at Pet Camp — Don't try this at home, kids! Dog waste is not traditionally accepted in compost bins!

In this program, Pet Camp's dog waste is blended with other "green" waste at the East Bay Municipal Water District to generate methane gas. The gas is then turned into electricity to run the water treatment facility. Adding composting to our recycling efforts has allowed us to divert more than 80% of our waste stream away from landfill.
