Help us stock dog waste bag dispensers in the Truckee Meadows as a Doggie Ambassador!
Through your service, community members will now have access to free dog waste bags at Truckee Meadows’ parks. As dg waste bags are distributed, we will work to reduce the amount of dog waste in our parks, open spaces, and the Truckee River watershed.
-
Every time it rains or snow melts, dog waste is washed into drains and storm sewers. The waste, full of unhealthy bacteria, flows with the stormwater directly into ponds, lakes, and rivers.
-
In high enough quantities, the bacteria and parasites found in dog waste cause bodies of water to become unsafe for recreation activities like swimming and fishing.
Help us map dog waste in the Truckee Meadows as a Poop Plotter Community Scientist!
Your poop plots will help define the scope of the dog waste problem in our parks
and open spaces - spreading awareness, targeting resources, and keeping our
public spaces safe and clean.
