Bundle Waste
A dog daycare should plan for animal waste, cleaning residues, packaging and wash-down separately. Ask the collector about the specific animal-waste stream and use the site hygiene plan to set handling frequency.
Information to gather
- Record actual quantities and the areas where waste accumulates.
- Keep waste containers secure and away from food preparation and animal access.
- Ask the water authority about wash-down disposal before changing drainage practices.
What to check before deciding
Do not install a pet-waste composting system solely on a claimed saving. Assess pathogen, odour, runoff, end-use and approval requirements with competent advisers before choosing on-site treatment.
Yarra Valley Water requires an agreement for business wastewater discharged to its sewer; site conditions determine acceptance and charges. See Yarra Valley Water - Trade Waste.
