What is a one-time dog waste cleanup?
It's a single, thorough cleanup of your yard with no recurring plan. It's ideal for spring cleanups, move-ins, or getting ready for a special occasion.
When do people book a one-time cleanup?
- Spring cleanups, after a winter of waste under the snow
- Before parties, barbecues and family gatherings
- Moving into a home where the last owners had dogs
- Getting a yard back under control before starting a schedule

Why is spring cleanup such a big job?
Waste that sits out all winter stays frozen until it all melts at once in the spring thaw. Hammonton's pet waste tip sheet, here in Atlantic County, notes that rain, melting snow and ice carry pet waste to storm drains that empty into rivers, lakes and the ocean.
Cold weather doesn't clean a yard on its own. The CDC says Giardia can survive for several months in cold water or soil, and that roundworm eggs have a strong protective layer that lets them survive for months, or even years, under the right conditions.
It's one reason the shore watches its water so closely. NJDEP has tested beach water for fecal bacteria since 1974, and a beach closes to swimming when two samples in a row come back over the state's standard.
What if it's been a long time?
That's fine, and we won't judge. Tell us when the yard was last scooped in the quick quote. It helps us plan the right amount of time for your cleanup.
Can I start a regular plan after the cleanup?
Yes. Many clients start with one deep cleanup and then keep the yard clean with weekly or every other week visits. There's no long-term contract either way.
How much does a one-time cleanup cost?
It depends on your yard, how many dogs you have and how long it's been. Get a quick quote and Doug will confirm your price.

Frequently asked
One-Time and Spring Cleanups questions, answered.

Why is there so much dog waste in the yard every spring?
Waste left outside over the winter stays frozen until it all melts at once in the spring thaw.
Doesn't freezing weather kill the germs?
Not reliably. The CDC says Giardia can survive for several months in cold water or soil.
Is old, dried-out waste still a health risk?
It can be. The CDC says roundworm eggs can survive for months, or even years, under the right conditions.
Can the waste from a big cleanup go in my compost pile?
No. University extension services say dog manure should never go in compost piles or vegetable gardens, because it is more likely to carry parasites that infect people.
How much does dog waste removal cost?
Your price depends on how many dogs you have, how often you'd like us to come and your yard. Get a quick quote and Doug will reach out with your exact price, usually the same day or the next.
Do I need to be home when you come?
No. Most clients aren't home during their visit. We let ourselves into the yard, scoop it, latch the gate behind us, and send you a photo of the latched gate.
How often can you come?
We offer twice a week, weekly, every other week and monthly service, plus one-time cleanups. We recommend weekly for most clients.
What should I tell you about my dogs and yard?
Anything that helps us do the job safely: a doggy door, a dog who needs extra care, whether it's the front or back yard, and how to get through the gate. Add it in the notes when you send your quote.
