Carleton Place residents reminded to stoop and scoop or incur fines With the usual mid-winter thaw comes the unsightly dirty snow banks and worse, dog waste and dog waste filled bags. The Town of Carleton Place receives complaints about this problem throughout the year and we would like to take this opportunity to remind dog owners that it is their responsibility to not only stoop and scoop, but also to properly dispose of the offending waste. Dog waste is a public health hazard, and it takes the pleasure out of outdoor activities and can pollute the environment. We ask that you make it a habit to pick up after your dog and to take the waste home to dispose of it on your own premises. We encourage flushing pet waste down the toilet, as it will be properly treated at the sewage plant. You can also place the waste in a garbage bin as long as it is properly wrapped in a sealed, leakproof bag, preferably biodegradable. Failure to pick up after your dog is a bylaw offense (Bylaw 89-2004).
