COLUMBIA (WACH / AP)—Animals at the Riverbanks Zoo produce about 1,500 pounds of manure everyday, according to spokeswoman Susan O’Cain. Instead of simply disposing of the waste, the Zoo is offering gardeners a chance to put orders for is famed poop, which is produced by the elephants, giraffes, and zebras.
O’Cain says that one cubic yard of the manure will be available for $43 a load. The manure sells out quickly, and each order is limited to two loads. If you don’t quite need a full load, pint-size and two-gallon buckets are placed at zoo entrances throughout the year.
O'Cain says the poop will be available for pickup on Friday, March 23. Orders may be placed through the Riverbanks Zoo WEBSITE.
