Pet Waste
Take The Pet Waste Survey
Brevard County Ordnance 14-59 requires that "no animal shall be permitted to defecate or urinate on public property. It shall be the responsibility of the owner or person in control of the animal to dispose of or remove excretions caused by the animal." Taking responsibility for cleaning up after your pet can help to prevent pointless pollution of our watershed. Get The Scoop!

WHAT YOU CAN DO!
- Take along a plastic bag in which to put your dog's waste. Then you may choose to flush the waste down the toilet, throw it in a trash can or bury it.
- Dispose of kitty waste and litter properly. Use a two-step process to clean out the cat box. First, scoop waste out of flushable litter and flush it down the toilet, taking care to minimize the amount of litter you flush. THEN, when litter is no longer usable, bag the litter and dispose of it in the trash. NEVER flush any kind of litter if you have a SEPTIC TANK.
- Leaving pet waste in your yard to decay can become a problem. To make sure water is not polluted by the waste, clean up any waste from areas near storm drains, ditches, wells and waterways. Always keep areas where children play free of wastes.
- If you don't want to pick up after your pet yourself, consider hiring a Poopy Patrol service.
- Remember, he can't pick up after himself!!
