Pick Up After Your Pet
Pet waste is litter. Pet waste (litter) is full of bacteria, parasites and other harmful organisms. During rain storms improperly disposed of pet waste washes into local water systems and negatively impacts wildlife and potentially humans. In addition to all that, it is against the law!

Keep Charleston Beautiful's goal is to bring awareness about dog litter to the public.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The City of Charleston Environmental Control Ordinance, Article 2, Sec.26-2(f) states:

“It shall be unlawful for any owner, keeper or walker of any dog or cat to permit his or her dog or cat to discharge its excreta upon the property of the owner of the animal or upon the property of one who has assented thereto unless such owner, keeper or walker immediately thereafter removes said animal’s excreta from the public or private property in question.”

Violation of this ordinance could carry a fine of up to $1,092.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can help by:
• Encourage pet owners to pick up after their pets
• Remove & properly dispose of your pets waste
• Sponsor a dog bag dispenser in a park near you
• Purchase signs to raise awareness in your community

For more information on Pick Up After Your Pet, to sponsor a dog bag dispenser and/or to purchase a sign please contact our office.

We would like to thank the City of Charleston's Department of Parks and all of our sponsors for their support!
