Why Pet Waste Stations Matter

Scooping the poop is not only important for a clean neighborhood. It is also important for water quality. When pet waste is left on the ground, rainwater can carry nitrogen and bacteria into storm drains, streams, rivers and other local waterways.

This pollution can contribute to cloudy, foul-smelling water, low oxygen levels, beach closures, fishing restrictions and warnings on local seafood consumption. Installing a pet waste station is one simple way to encourage responsible pet ownership and help prevent water pollution in your community.
