REMEMBER TO... SCOOP THE POOP!
PICK UP YOUR PET’S WASTE EVERYTIME.
Deliberately abandoned dog poop on our sidewalks is still an on-going problem in Winslow Farm.
A simple plastic bag slipped over your hand like a glove makes an efficient and completely clean pickup tool.
A wide variety of bags will work, making this one way to recycle (suggestion: Herald Times newspaperbag).
Simply pick up the poop, turn the bag inside out to enclose it and tie the top off.
If bending is difficult for you, a long-handled scooper tool may be your better choice.
Picking up shows pride in your community, in yourself, and in your dog.
Please pick up after your pooch.
Not only is picking up dog waste a neighborly thing to do, it is the healthy thing to do... for you and the environment.
