Pet Waste

Learn how to properly dispose of pet waste

Pet waste contains harmful bacteria and organisms that can spread disease. Pick up pet waste, seal it in a plastic bag, and dispose of it in trash cans. Don’t hose waste into storm drains. Help keep your neighborhood and your pet healthy and clean.

To find out how and where to dispose of pet waste in your community, please contact your local environmental coordinator, or check your local telephone directory for your community’s sanitation or public works department.
