Doo something pawsative for our rivers! Scoop it. Bag it. Trash it.

Dog poop is gross to step in, disrespectful to others using parks and trails, and carries diseases. It’s also a primary source of bacteria pollution in our streams.

Pet waste left on the ground mixing with stormwater can be washed into storm drains that lead directly to our streams and lakes. This waste carries harmful bacteria which can affect the health of wildlife, ourselves, and our children.
