National Poop Scoop Week

Monday 25th July – Sunday 31st July 2011

Each summer Keep Scotland Beautiful teams up with the Dogs Trust to promote National Poop Scoop Week throughout Scotland. The week-long campaign reminds dog walkers in a fun and friendly way to clean up after their dog – and of the £40 penalty they could face if they fail to "grab it, bag it, bin it".

How you can take part

Whether you are part of a community group, work for a local authority, or are just fed up with dog poo in your neighbourhood, there are many ways you can take action as part of National Poop Scoop Week 2011.

The message

By taking the following important steps, the problem of dog fouling can become a thing of the past in Scotland:

  1. GRAB IT - Always keep a supply of bags near your dog's lead so you don't forget to take them with you on every walk. Simply insert your hand in the bag and pick up your dog’s waste.
  2. BAG IT - Carefully turn the bag inside out to "bag" your dog's mess.
  3. BIN IT - Dispose of the bag in a bin. Dog waste can be put in a public litter bin if a specific dog waste bin is not provided.
