There are many ways homeowners associations and community members can address pet waste in their community.
Pet waste stations, for example, are a great start. The type, number and placement of the waste stations are just a few things to consider before implementing. Increasing awareness via an outreach program is effective. A simple way to do this is to have a community pet appreciation event. Pet owners can attend, mingle and listen to a short presentation on the impacts of dog waste in the community.
Finally, dog parks in the community will promote neighborhood pride and tends to help contain the majority of dog feces to a more localized area. We suggest contacting your local pet waste management company to help you implement these and many more ideas to help you maintain a safe and healthy community.
