Our Park has come up with a wonderful idea for POO BAG dispensers for cleaning up after our dogs.
Which of
course is something that all of us want to encourage. The idea is to purchase a number of rural
type mail boxes and fill them with our used plastic grocery bags. (Another great recycling idea.)
And no dog
owner will ever have an excuse for not cleaning up after their dog. The idea is that the “Mail/Poo bag Boxes”
will be distributed around the perimeter planted areas where everyone walks there dogs. We can all contribute our unwanted grocery
bags, fill the poo bag boxes and the dog walkers help themselves when
needed. When the last bag is used, the
user flips up the flag to let us know that we can add more bags. A dog
owner can purchase one of these stations and put their pet’s name on it if they wish or a couple
of dog owners can chip in and put a couple of dog names on one, or you may have
lost a pet and this could be a lasting Memorial to your pet.
I personally think it is a GREAT idea. So, we have purchased one of these stations. It has arrived and now that our guests have left, here's Dan preparing it for installation. First of all a post must be concreted into the ground, then the next day the "Mail Box" is installed and bolted to the post. The plastic type mail boxes were chosen so that they will be low maintenance and will not rust like the metal ones. So, here is our potty station installed, just waiting for it's garbage can to be added. .
And here is the name tag we had made for it.
I THINK THIS IS AN IDEA THAT COULD BE USED IN OUR PROVINCIAL PARK AND MARINA BACK HOME
