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

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.
