Dog Droppings

One of the responsibilities of owning a dog is to ensure that it does not cause a public nuisance or endanger others. Dog droppings in public places are both a nuisance and a risk to public health. It is therefore your responsibility to clean up after your dog when it defecates.

When walking your dog in a public place, please carry a plastic bag, scooper or similar container with you so that you can collect the waste and dispose of it appropriately.

Dog Tidies, for disposing of droppings, are currently provided in the following council parks:
