Here’s the scoop…

Let’s be honest, nobody REALLY wants to do this, but it’s an important part of being a dog owner! 🐕🐾

Pet waste left uncollected is unsanitary. It contains pathogenic bacteria and other parasites. When pet waste is washed into our lakes and rivers it decays in the water, depleting oxygen levels and releasing ammonia, which can be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms. Pet waste also contains nutrients that foster weed and algae growth. Elevated bacteria levels in lakes and rivers caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause unsafe conditions for swimming and recreational activities.

Pet waste management results in cleaner parks and neighborhoods, our city looks better, has a lowered potential for diseases to spread and reduces a significant cause of stormwater pollution. In addition, our City Ordinance states that a person not cleaning up their pet’s waste may be issued a misdemeanor citation.

Picking up after your pooch makes our city cleaner, more attractive, keeps us all healthier, and it also keeps our lakes healthier too.

Do your part, clean up after your pet, and help keep our lakes clean!
