There’s nothing more unsightly than human or pet waste in our Town of Carbondale parks (dogs are welcome at Glassier Park, Hendrick Dog Park, and the Delaney Nature Park, but prohibited from all other Town parks) or on our favorite hiking trails. Not only is it bad karma but also it’s harmful to leave your pet poop in a town park. What you leave on the land ends up in the water: dog poop carries many viruses and bacteria that can be extremely harmful to humans and to other animals, and easily contaminate water in our favorite lakes, streams, and rivers.
At the park: use provided trash bins and plastic bags or take your own bags so you can pick up and dispose of your pet’s waste.
On trails: “pack it out” means pet waste too! Many of our local trails have poop trash cans. Some do not, and that means “pack it out” so do not leave the bagged poop for the poop fairy (sorry to break it to you, she’s not real!) instead please take the baggy home with you and dispose of it in a trash can
At home: get a pooper scooper and bin just for pet waste and empty only into your trash
