There is no Poop Fairy

Please clean up after your pets!

By the numbers

Clackamas County has almost 100,000 dogs of all shapes and sizes. On average, a dog excretes 0.75 pounds of waste per day. That adds up nearly 13,000 tons of pet waste in our county per year!

Reasons to scoop

• Dog poop is classified as a pollutant not fertilizer. It can destroy grass.
• Some dog poop contains harmful diseases.
• Rain washes dog poop into streams and rivers, where we swim and get our drinking water.
• Dog poop can be a hazard for other animals as well as people.
• Cleaning up after your pet is always the right thing to do.

Grab a bag before your next walk, and tell your friends to do the same. Our water will be much healthier.
