You can request a Clark County Clean Water Program staff member to give a presentation at your next neighborhood association or community meeting about the benefits of picking up. Think of this as the first step in introducing pet-waste education to your community. Email matthew.grimley@clark.wa.gov to request a presentation in your neighborhood. |

A Clean Water Program staff member can meet with you to discuss the best way to confront the problem in your area, whether it be putting signs in problem spots, instituting a weekly "Pick-up Day" for your neighborhood, or setting up a public bag dispenser on the corner. We'll help connect you with the others in your neighborhood who are as motivated as you are to reduce pet waste pollution, and schedule regular check-ins in case you have questions or need advice. Email matthew.grimley@clark.wa.gov to request a meeting with a Clean Water Program staff member. |

The more visibility the "Scoop the Poop" message has, the harder it is to ignore! We can provide you and your neighbors with stickers for your trash can that read "We Scoop" to help scooping become the rule rather than the exception. We can also provide window clings with the program's logo, posters, and - when you sign the Canines for Clean Water pledge - even a bandanna for your dog! These materials are for residents of unincorporated Clark County. Click here to view posters and other materials from the Canines for Clean Water program available for download. Email matthew.grimley@clark.wa.gov to request stickers or other materials. |

We have items available to help make picking up easy (and eliminate as many excuses as possible!). Request them for yourself, a friend, or a neighbor (for residents of unincorporated Clark County). These items include: -Port-A-Poo bag holders (for the long walk home after the fact) -"Toss it Here" stickers for your trash can. Volunteer your trash can as a common drop-off point! Even if it's only the night before trash pick-up in your neighborhood, your neighbors will appreciate the convenience of an extra drop-off option. These items are free - all you have to do is email matthew.grimley@clark.wa.gov and request what you need! Please keep in mind that supplies are limited. |
