Why Pick Up After Your Pet?
Pet waste contains harmful parasites like hookworms, roundworms, and tapeworms. It also carries bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella that can infect humans and other pets.
Prevents Disease Spread
Protects Water Resources
Rain washes abandoned waste into storm drains and local waterways, thereby introducing dangerous bacteria and excess nutrients directly into lakes, public swimming and fishing areas.
Stops Algae Blooms
Pet waste washes nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into water, fertilizing and chemically stimulating toxic algae blooms. These deplete oxygen, killing fish and poisoning pets who drink it.
Saves The Grass
Dog waste is highly acidic and toxic to grass due to the dog's protein-rich diet. Leaving it on the ground scorches the turf, thereby leaving unsightly yellow or dead patches.
Keeps Public Spaces Usable
Stepping in pet waste ruins a good walk. Scooping up ensures our parks and sidewalks stay clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone because no one likes a messy surprise.
Avoids fines and penalties
Keeping our town clean is a team effort. Simple scooping helps you comply with local laws, avoid costly fines, and keep our neighborhoods beautiful.
