DO YOUR PART AND HELP KEEP DENVER'S WATERWAYS CLEAN!

Dog poop bags and mini bag dispenser available!

Denver - In an effort to promote clean water practices, Denver Public Works in cooperation with Denver Environmental Health and Denver Parks and Recreation are offering a free supply of dog poop bags and an on-the-go mini bag dispenser complete with a handy carabineer clip, to Denver residents. 

The bags and dispenser are part of Denver's "Keep It Clean From Drain To Stream" campaign, and are available for a limited time only. Denver residents can register to receive poop bags and dispensers online at www.KeepItCleanDenver.org or by calling 311.

Denver's Keep it Clean program is designed to educate residents about the importance of reducing storm water pollution in urban waterways. Pet waste left on the ground contains harmful bacteria and excess nutrients that wash into storm drains and then into waterways, potentially increasing health risks to humans.  The call to "Pick Up Litter After Your Critter" aims to encourage Denver residents to pick up after their pets so our rivers stay clean.

The Keep it Clean campaign provides ways for Denver residents to actively participate in protecting natural water resources by promoting healthier practices every day from homes, schools, businesses and recreation areas. Three simple ways that we can all keep Denver's waterways clean are:

  •  
    • Pick up Litter and After Your Critter
    • Be Aware of Spills That Often Kill

        Use commercial car washes and designated drop-off or recycling locations for disposal of auto fluids

    • Be Wise When You Fertilize
  • Dispose of litter and pet waste properly

Use fertilizers and pesticides with care

For more information on what you can do to keep Denver's waterways clean, please visit www.KeepItCleanDenver.org.

The offer of a free supply of poop bags and bag dispenser is available only to Denver residents over the age of 18, and has a limit of one per household.  Please allow two weeks for delivery.
