desposing of waste?

[chickadoodle]

Hi
Now I have chickens and ducks I now have alot of waste. comprising of poo. sawdust. shredded paper and straw. My garden is slowly being taken over with animals. which leaves less space for everything else! The waste takes too long to make compost. Please can you guys tell me what you do with your waste? I wondered about an incinerator? Any advice would be helpfull.

we have a bonfire and burn it all off but thats convenient for us as we have 6 acres. not ideal if you have a garden

We put it in the Council brown composting bins. In Staffordshire they allow pet waste but I always throw a few weeds over the top just in case. We've got so much that we've paid £40 for a second bin. The good stuff with a lot of poo in goes onto a compost heap which the chickens can't get to. The old soiled bedding, straw, newspaper and wood chippings go in the brown bins. Takes 3 years to compost properly ie. no worms left in it and no smell.

have you got any allotment sites near you if you have pop down there and ask around if anyone will want it most of them would or should say yes for their composts it can do wanders to the soil .
