Dog fouling

Dog waste is dealt with through the normal process of street cleaning but due to the high level of public concern, and the risk it poses to health, there are staff who can respond quickly to serious incidents, such as near schools.

Please note that dog fouling will not be removed from private land.

Frequently asked questions about dog fouling

A number of dog waste bins have been installed on the streets of Charnwood, but in addition to this, dog waste can be wrapped and deposited in any ordinary litter bin.

We would encourage residents to consider using a biodegradable dog waste bag. You can purchase these from the majority of supermarkets and pet shops.
