Reminder! Please Clean Up After Pets — It’s the Law

Cleaning Up After Pets

Pet owners must promptly pick up all solid waste material from their pet and dispose of it appropriately.  Dog Waste stations are located within the community for your convenience. Please utilize them or carry pet waste home for disposal.

When animal feces are left behind, the matter is washed into nearby storm drains by rain and floods. The matter typically drains directly into lakes and streams, carrying pollutants along with it, which can damage and even kill fish and other wildlife.

Please be courteous of your neighbors and your community and pick up after your pets and dispose the waste propertly.

Failure to pick up your pet’s waste could result in a fine as stated in Orange County Code Section 5-42. The fines can range from $84.00 to $110.00.
