Don’t Let Winter Dog Waste Become Summer Dust

DOG POOP

One of Nome’s less glamorous but essential spring tasks: cleaning up dog waste. Here’s why it matters:

  • Health Hazard: When winter’s snow melts, uncollected waste dries out and becomes airborne dust—a serious concern for public health.
  • Community Responsibility: Cleaning up keeps Nome’s trails, yards, and public spaces safe and enjoyable.
  • Tips for Pet Owners: Carry bags on walks, clean your yard regularly, and join community clean-up efforts. Let’s work together to keep Nome clean and safe as we welcome spring!
