The Dog Days of Summer are approaching — is your pup ready to hit the trails, parks, and sidewalks?
Before you head out, don't forget the bag!
Pet waste left on the ground doesn't just stay there. When it rains, stormwater runoff carries pet waste — and all the bacteria, nutrients, and pathogens in it — straight into our local streams, lakes, and rivers. That means the same waterways we fish in, kayak on, and rely on for clean water.
Keeping it out of our waterways is as simple as: Scoop. Bag. Toss.
✅ Pick it up every time — even in your own yard
✅ Bag it and dispose of it in the trash
✅ Never leave it near a storm drain or stream bank
Our waterways are for everyone — including your four-legged best friend. Let's keep them clean all summer long!
