Pet Waste
Clean and plentiful water is important to our families,
our environment, our economy and our quality of life.
Did you know
that animal waste from pets can pollute our waters? When left on the
ground, pet waste is
washed by rain and melting snow and ice into
storm drains that carry it to our rivers, lakes, the ocean and
drinking
water. Animal waste contains a high concentration of nutrients
as well as bacteria and disease-causing microorganisms that can cause
problems.
What you can do
Pet owners or anyone who takes your pet for walks must
properly dispose of the waste by picking it up, wrapping it and either
placing it in the trash or flushing it unwrapped down the toilet.
Your municipality is required to adopt and enforce local pet-waste laws.
At a minimum, your community must require that pet owners or their keepers
immediately and properly dispose of their pet’s solid waste deposited
on any public or private property not owned or possessed by that person.
People with assistance animals such as Seeing Eye dogs are exempt.
Make sure you know what your municipality requires – and follow
it.
Thank you for doing your part to keep New Jersey’s
waters
clean.
