Tip of the MonthWoodland boasts twenty-seven parks, each equipped with public trash cans to help you properly dispose of your dog's waste. Remember, pet waste should always be placed in the trash, not in green waste piles or organics carts, as our composting facilities process green waste into materials sold to farmers for food production. Proper disposal helps keep harmful bacteria out of our fields and ensures a healthier environment. |
