Twenty-two (22) dog waste bins were installed by The Nation Municipality to collect ONLY plastic bags containing dog excrement.
If you are a dog owner, these bins will make it simpler for you to dispose of your dog’s poop in a respectful manner.
Not only are plastic bags or dog poop left on the ground around the Village a health risk but they are also an eyesore for everyone. It is YOUR civic responsibility as a dog owner to pick up after your dog at all times, be it on private or public property.
These small gestures in your daily routines will help maintain a clean environment for all of us. Do your part and pick up after yourself and your dog. Thank you for your contribution.
