Dog Waste Diversion

Adopt-a-Park

Dog Waste Diversion Project

Now it's even easier to keep Pickering Parks clean.

Pickering's newest innovation, Dog Waste Diversion Project, is underway in our green areas.  Alex Robertson, Brockridge, Bruce Handscombe,  Dunmore, Esplanade, Forestbrook, Major Oaks and Millennium Square, parks are the first of the Pickering parks to receive these special units. View the Lifestyle Section of our municipal website for more information on our parks.

Residents are requested to use the biodegradable bags provided when stooping & scooping in these pet friendly areas. Dog waste is removed on a regular basis and is disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. Instead of going to a landfill the dog waste is processed and disposed of at the Region of Durham’s Duffin Creek Sewer Treatment Plant.

For further information regarding this project please contact the Customer Care Centre at 905.683.7575.
