Waterloo, Ont.’s new dog poop power pilot project was the talk of the town in April 2017, with its promise of unleashing pet waste as a renewable energy resource.
Dubbed “poop power” by Mayor Dave Jaworsky, the pilot project starts with three pet waste containers placed in three Waterloo parks, including Bechtel Park, which has a leash-free dog zone. The project ends with biogas produced at the Bio-EN Power plant in Elmira.
