Langley City, B.C., We’re giving you the scoop on dog poop. Throwing dog waste in the garbage sends it to landfills, where it releases methane, pollutes the environment and contributes to climate change.
The Dog Waste Bin Pilot Project represents an important step toward more responsible waste management practices and reflects our ongoing commitment to improving service levels in our parks,” says Tara Macrae, Manager of Engineering and Parks Operations. “By addressing dog waste more effectively, we're enhancing the cleanliness and overall experience of our shared public spaces.”
Cleaner parks, lower costs, and better service
The pilot aims to:
- Reduce the volume and cost of waste disposal in regular garbage bins
- Help keep our parks cleaner by encouraging responsible pet waste disposal
- Reduce environmental impact by separating dog waste from regular garbage bins
New bins installed at four dog off-leash parks and 18 locations within city trails
Specific areas in Langley City were selected due to high volumes of dog waste in garbage bins and the need to encourage proper disposal. Dog owners can find the new bins at the following locations:
Dog off-leash parks:
- Linwood Park, 5470 201 Street
