I
believe it was a northwestern state (Metro district?) where I found the
recommendation to bury pet waste 18" deep around the drip line of a tree where
you do not plan to plant items for human consumption. Cover with 6" dirt
(at least) to prevent flies from breeding. The recommendation was made to
the public due to the fact that the waste district did not want their
haulers exposed to pet waste in garbage containers. Flushing it down the
toilet would be a good alternative if you do not have a yard, but, of course,
sludge is the end result and may or may not ultimately produce waste, depending
upon the ability to divert the sludge.
