Did You Know?
Not only is picking up after your pet lawful and courteous, but it can also help keep the soil free of parasites such as roundworms and hookworms and it can help keep humans safe from infections. Dispose of pet waste by flushing it down the toilet or by tightly bagging it for garbage collection.
