Pet Waste Station Maintenance

We keep the pet waste stations on your property serviced, so residents always have a bag and a bin that isn't overflowing.

What is pet waste station maintenance?

A pet waste station is the post you see in HOA common areas, apartment complexes and parks. The EPA describes it as a bag dispenser, a sign that encourages pickup, and a trash bin. Maintenance means keeping it useful: bins emptied and bags stocked.

Why keep stations stocked?

Because an empty dispenser is an easy excuse. In a North Carolina State University survey of nearly 1,000 Raleigh residents, more than 60 percent said that when they didn't clean up after their dog, it was because they had no bag or receptacle.

Stations only work when someone keeps them up. Stormwater guidance from King County, Washington tells property owners to check stations on a regular basis so bags stay stocked and bins stay empty.

Does New Jersey recommend pet waste stations?

Yes. NJDEP's stormwater guidance for public complexes recommends pet waste stations with bags and dedicated trash cans. Closer to home, Atlantic City added signs to the dog waste stations in every city park in 2023, calling pet waste runoff into storm drains a concern.

Where should stations go on a property?

Where people already walk their dogs. King County's guidance says to put them where walkers can grab a bag at the start of a walk and toss it midway or at the end. University of Maryland Extension points to busy, visible spots such as open space entrances, dog parks and heavily traveled sidewalks.

Keep the bin for pet waste only. King County notes that regular trash can fill a station bin too quickly, and suggests a sign that keeps other trash out and a cover that keeps rain out.

Can you clean the common areas too?

Yes. Station upkeep pairs well with a common area cleanup on the same visit, as part of a commercial pet waste removal plan.

    “Owning a dog sitting company + having post-op restrictions don’t mix very well. Now let’s pair that with some snow, ice & two Rottweiler guests for the last few weeks- my backyard felt like booby trap. ❄️ 🌨️ 💩 ⚠️ Thankfully Doug and the crew from Dog Waste Management came to the rescue! My yard is back to being safe to walk around in again (haha) & the gentle giants can resume ball play as normal. Will definitely be reaching out in the future and referring DWM to everyone!”

Frequently asked

Pet Waste Station Maintenance questions, answered.

Where should pet waste stations go?

Along common walking routes, so walkers can grab a bag at the start and toss it midway or at the end, and in busy, visible spots such as open space entrances, dog parks and sidewalks.

Do stations actually change behavior?

University of Maryland Extension says owners are more likely to clean up with a station nearby, and surveys find that missing bags and trash cans are top reasons people don't pick up.

Why does the station bin fill up so fast?

Regular trash fills pet waste bins quickly. Stormwater guidance from King County, Washington suggests signs that keep other trash out, plus a cover that keeps water out.

Do we need permission to install a station?

Possibly. University of Maryland Extension says a community may require applications, plans or permits from the local government, homeowners association or park managers.

Do you work with HOAs, apartments and businesses?

Yes. We clean up pet waste for apartment complexes, HOA communities, dog parks and businesses, including keeping pet waste stations stocked and emptied. Every commercial plan is set up around your property.
