ALACHUA COUNTY, FL - Alachua County Environmental Protection Department (ACEPD) wants citizens to clean up after their pets and put the waste in the trash. ACEPD has begun a public outreach campaign (funded by the Gainesville Clean Water Partnership) to teach citizens how to address pet waste at home and around the community.
Come visit ACEPD's information booth at the following community events to sign the Scoop Pledge. They are giving out free bag dispensers to take along as you walk your dog and small flashlights to assist with scooping on night walks. They also have information on the environmental and health hazards of pet waste left on the ground.
For more information visit www.AlachuaCountyWater.org, or call ACEPD at 352-264-6800.
