Become Our Partner to Promote Healthy Pets. Health Water. Healthy Community.
What Is the Program?
This is an opportunity for community members to:
- Increase community awareness in the ways that pet waste can affect our water quality and health.
- Reduce the amount of raw and bagged pet waste that is left on the ground.
- Help people adopt good habits by providing information and tools.
- Keep our yards, trails, beaches, water, and shoes clean!
What Do Our Partners Do?
The team of neighborhood and community partners help spread the message that picking up after your pet is the right thing to do! We provide you with a variety of tools to accomplish this because everyone’s comfort level, opportunities, communities, and situations are different.
Residents in neighborhoods that have a lot of foot traffic may find it easier to strike up a conversation. Also, yard signs equipped with bag dispensers help get the word out. Others might find using social media or taking rack cards to community centers and meetings a good way for them to spread the message. Some Partners prefer to focus their time and efforts on their favorite park or community event.
How Can Partners Spread the Message?
When you sign up, you’ll receive a toolkit to help get started. You can decide what tools work for you. The toolkit includes:
-
- A yard sign to help remind neighbors walking by to pick up poop and trash it. Every time. Everywhere.
- A supply of poop bag dispensers and bags to hand out to pet owners in need or use to spark up a conversation with someone.
- Rack cards with tips and FAQs to help support conversations and answer questions.
Some creative ways to connect with people and relay why picking it up and trashing it every time, everywhere is important:
-
- Sharing information at meetings or social events.
- Posting materials or leaving supplies on community bulletin boards.
- Post on social media or in online community groups.
- Using the yard sign to give out supplies like poop bags.
