This is an interesting way for students to research more about local environmental issues. http://www.epa.gov/epahome/commsearch.htm

As a consequence, more municipalities are facing a growing problem of what to do with the accumulated dog waste.

Most simply put it in the regular garbage stream, which of course means mostly landfills.

Is the EPA aware of, or have they sponsored any research studies on alternative disposal strategies — such as large scale composting, methane digesters, etc.?
