Scooping the poop is one of the single most effective things that you can do to prevent pollution in our waterways. If you don’t own a dog, take time to urge your dog loving friends to do it.
You can get the stickers free from the Virginia Beach SPCA, 427-0070, and from Lynnhaven River NOW, 962-5398.
It has been estimated that up to a third of fecal coliform pollution in the Lynnhaven River is due to dog waste.
Dog poop does not belong in a compost heap. It belongs in the trash.
And the "SCOOP THE POOP" sticker belongs on your trash can!
