I want to use this box to put in small bags of dog poop, until garbage day. Is this an empty box?

There is a big wheel in the middle for the hose and the bottom is not solid, but has like an x-shaped bottom. Too expensive for a poop box, in my opinion. Get a metal trash can with a lid - small ones are $15 at most feed stores.

While not empty because of the hose reel inside, there is some room around on the sides and bottom. I have a 10 foot hose rolled up in mine and the lid closes.

It has a reel in the middle to wind the hose up. I haven't looked in there for a while but I think that there is a bottom. Maybe someone else can help there.

You notice it has a hand crank on the side w/ bar inside to hold the hose. Suppose it could be used but you might have an old pail or tub of some kind which would work

This box is bigger than your average litter box. I have two 20 lbs dogs and they fit it in fine. Don't ask LOL

The best would be to find smaller than average sized bags. Although the waste bin is smaller than what most are used to I enjoy not having a garbage can in plain sight. We use traditional sized bags and fill the remainder of the bag with garbage from bathrooms when it's time to take out so it works out. Even though sometimes we don't use ALL of the space in our bag every time, it's a price I'm willing to pay, especially when we buy them in bulk from Home Depot

I think you could get a 35 pound bag of dog food in it. You might consider putting the actual bag in it though, as I think just dumping it in there would cause a moisture problem. Great idea though!

No. It's too messy. I just empty the basket into a box and toss the box. Hope this helps you.

I will check this afternoon when I am near the item. The box was long ago recycled.

Its good to pick up poo but you will have to carry any kind of bag you have. I use mine for my yard and put in a pail. Hope this helps

I agree with A. Perea 100%. I wouldn't worry and if you are worried then just do what Basset Mom does and hand mix the shreds in with your regular garbage.

they put the bag of dog food into a box. ive ordered two bags in the past and neither one was damaged.

I don't throw away things that I know will stink, so I don't know. I use a compost pile or my outside trash for that. Sorry!

I save the dog food bags and use them for the poops. They are plenty big and that way they have another use since most can't be recycled.

You don't have to replace filters or poop catchers as often as they say. The box stays closed after the scoop dumps the poop in it. The poop bucket pulls out so you can empty it. Another suggestion is the top part of the poop bucket sometimes comes loose so put a piece of tape on the sides so it doesn't move. Let me know if this helps you.

I have never used any kind of bags. When it is full, I simply up-end it inside a plastic kitchen garbage bag.

It's like a grocery bag, but different texture. Not as thick as a hefty black trashbag or anything, but I've never had one tear or leak. It's the same as every other brand of dog poop bags I've tried.

Hi. I only left the old box there for a day. I took it away and watched my cats and they used it right away. Try using some litter from the old box into the new one. Don't worry she will use it. Put it in the same spot as the old one.

it's a little too small for a grocery bag. This is a trash container that's really suitable for a bathroom and, as such, is smaller. I would guess that it doesn't even come up to my knee or if so, barely! You can buy liners from SimpleHuman which fit perfectly. And here's the secret about that -- you don't need to change them every week! I just take my kitchen trash bag around to all my other trash cans in the house and I empty them in there and take the trash out. So, I keep the same lining in the trash can for a long time! It's not like we're throwing food away and (not to be too graphic), but we're two men, so no tampons and such go in there. it's a little too small for a grocery bag.
