Question 1

Why does dog fouling continue even where bins are available?

Accepted Answer

A bin only helps after a dog walker has picked up. Providing bags at the point of need closes the gap for someone who has forgotten one.

Question 2

Where should dog bag stations be installed?

Accepted Answer

Useful locations usually include entrances, popular walking routes and known fouling hotspots. A site review can help identify practical positions.

Question 3

Do dog bag stations replace existing bins?

Accepted Answer

No. They work alongside existing bins by providing a bag before pickup while the bins remain available for disposal.

Question 4

Can stations carry our own messaging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Station panels can carry practical community, organisation or PSPO messaging, subject to artwork requirements.
