Educate your residents that a dog waste problem exists in the community. One of the best ways to do this is to publish educational article in a community newsletter at least four times a year . At DoodyCalls, we will provide prewritten articles to include in newsletters upon request. Other dog waste removal companies may also contribute content and you should hesitate to ask them to contribute. These articles generally address environmental issues, legal issues, or both.

Pet waste station - Gladiator manufactured by JJB Solutions Make it convenient for pet owners to pick up and dispose of the dog waste properly. Install pet waste stations along paths and in common areas. Pet waste stations consist of a post, waste receptacle, reminder sign, and litter bag dispenser.
You may choose to purchase the pet waste station, service, and supplies separately, however, managed service options are now also offered by some pet waste removal companies.
With managed services there is no up front cost the community. Instead, you pay one weekly rate of less than $20/wk/station for the station, supplies, maintenance and service. After two years you own the station – after four years you will receive a new one free of charge. This plan eliminates up front cost and makes installing multiple stations in your community feasible. It also ensures that the stations on your property look clean and shiny.
