The Problem

The tragedy of the commons β€” literally

Dog owners love their local parks. But even with signage and bag stations, shared spaces need more than good intentions to stay clean.

Dog waste isn't just unpleasant β€” it's a public health and environmental issue

As dog ownership surges, public spaces bear the burden. Signage and bag stations help, but they rely on individual compliance β€” and that's exactly where the tragedy of the commons kicks in.

The result? Overworked DPW crews, frustrated residents, contaminated waterways, and parks that people start avoiding.

  • 🦠 Untreated pet waste carries harmful bacteria like E. coli and Giardia that run off into local waterways
  • 🐾 Dogs walk through contaminated areas and track bacteria directly into residents' homes, cars, and onto children
  • 🚫 Bag stations alone have a compliance rate under 60% in most communities
  • πŸ’Έ Municipal crews aren't trained or equipped for systematic waste removal
  • πŸ“‰ Dirty parks reduce community engagement and property values

FAQ

Common questions from clients

We price based on the number of spaces, total acreage, service frequency, and whether station management is included. We provide detailed proposals that work with your budgeting cycle and can structure agreements as annual contracts, seasonal contracts, or pilot programs.
Absolutely. We're experienced with municipal RFP responses, sole-source justifications for specialized services, and standard municipal vendor requirements. We carry all required insurance, provide W-9s, and can meet your purchasing department's documentation needs.
We operate year-round. In winter, we adjust frequency based on conditions. In spring, we offer deep-clean services to address the winter accumulation that emerges during the thaw β€” typically our busiest and most impactful season.
Monthly reports include service dates, routes covered, waste volume estimates, station inventory status, photo documentation, and any notable observations. Reports are formatted for easy inclusion in selectboard packets or public works updates.
No β€” we service any public space with pet waste issues. Town commons, walking trails, conservation land, playgrounds, athletic fields, cemeteries, and public beaches are all common service areas. If dogs go there, we clean there.
