I understand (not an expert), there can be worms (ring, round, etc.) and diseases in dog poop that arn't killed during the composting process.

Fill the leaf bags up with water. Tie off the top. Let them sit for a month or so. Then poke a hole in bottom of bag to drain. Wait a year. You have leaf mold. Great stuff.

Not worth adding the dog poop in my opinion. Chances of disease ruining your compost pile then you adding that into your food is a bad combination to me. Burn the leaves or throw them out with the trash depending on where you live.

Oak leaves make some of the best compost around. Hit em' with the mower till their chopped up good and then compost em' with everything else. |

That won't kill the bacteria in the dog poop, just make it cover more surface area and spread it around in the compost pile. |

Let the sun cook it clean with heat. Let the pile sit til next year. |

There's no reason not to compost the leaves. Just don't add the dog poop. |
