Dog Waste Stations
Dog waste stations are also referred to as dog poop stations and pet waste stations. Dog waste stations provide an economical and convenient way for dog owners to “doo” the right thing by cleaning up after their dogs.
Pet waste stations consist of a waste can or receptacle, dog poop or litter bag dispenser, post, and pickup reminder sign. Place pet waste stations at the intersection of paths and along high traffic areas for best results.
We offer communities and parks the option to purchase pet waste stations outright or to pay for them over time with our Pet Waste Station Managed Services service plan.
With standard purchasing plans, communities purchase the pet waste receptacle, replacement litterbags, and pet waste station service separately.
With our Pet Waste Station Managed Services option, we will install the station, keep it supplied with dog waste/litter bags, and empty it weekly for less than $20 per week. There is no up-front cost for your community. After two years you own the station. After four years you will receive a brand new station at no charge.
