The City is reminding all dog owners that they must dispose of their pets’ poo in a rubbish bin and use plastic bags for this.

What to do?

• Pick up after your dog wherever you are.
• Use the plastic bags provided in the yellow boxes hanging from public rubbish bins all over the city.
• Dispose of excrement immediately in the bins to avoid polluting public spaces.

Why?

• To keep our town and public spaces clean.
• To protect the health of children and other citizens. Dog droppings can carry diseases and parasites.
• Out of respect for others, to avoid nuisance and unpleasant odours.
• Out of respect for neighbours: it is also important to clean up droppings on your private property to avoid unpleasant odours and preserve a good relationship with your neighbours.

Consequences

• Offence: leaving dog excrement in public places is no minor offence. It can be punishable by a fine of up to €155!
• Impact on the community: leaving excrement in public places creates a bad image and harms everyone’s quality of life.

Together, let’s preserve a clean and pleasant environment for everyone!
