P2 Weekly Tip: Stop & Scoop!

Are you a dog owner or dog walker? Do you pick up after your dog? If you don’t, you should consider the consequences. Unscooped dog droppings have been linked to highly elevated levels of bacterial pollution in storm water runoff. Left behind feces can become a health hazard as well as a nuisance in your own yard and in neighborhood parks.

Don’t leave your pet's mess…stop and scoop! Picking up after your dog makes you a good neighbor and it helps reduce water pollution after it rains.
