If you do, add pulverized lime to kill the stink, help in decomposition and to break down any residual oils.
Dog shit is low in nutrients compared to guano, chicken shit, cow manure. I think it's down somewhere near horse shit.

Thanks for the tip about lime. I don't have any on hand, probably stick with putting the doodoo in the bin.

Lime will help break down the compost and sweeten the soil (free up nutrients) you apply it to. In the old days they used lime or wood ashes in the outhouse to cut the stink and help decompose the 'pile". Oh yeah, wood ash is good for the garden too if you didn't know.

I still need to make a good firepit for the yard, I do supplement with BBQ ash though.
