Pet Waste Station Sponsor Agreement
The City’s Stormwater department is charged with monitoring and managing stormwater drainage and runoff within the City of Clemson to ensure that we comply with regulations put in place by SCDHEC and the EPA and prevent pollution in our ecosystem.
Pet waste can contain harmful organisms such as salmonella, e. Coli, roundworms, and hookworms which can be passed to other pets and humans. Pet waste also adds nitrogen to the stormwater runoff, which then removes oxygen in the streams for beneficial underwater grasses and fish. Not to mention, no one likes to step in pet waste. So, while taking your pet on Summer outings, bring a plastic bag – or two – and pick up after your dog does its business. Then dispose of that bag in a trash can or a proper pet waste station.
The Stormwater Department is also doing its part to encourage proper pet waste disposal and has implemented a Pet Waste Program for others interested in doing more in their neighborhoods.
Your Responsibilities: • Become the primary contact for the Stormwater department; • Agree to install the re-supply bag dispenser and waste bag;• Agree to responsibly transport and timely dispose of all pet waste; and, • Let the Stormwater manager know – in a timely manner – when you need a supply refill.
Stormwater Department Responsibilities: • The Stormwater manager will meet with the primary contact to help choose a location; • The pet waste station and the first bag dispenser and waste bag will be installed by Stormwater staff; and • Stormwater staff will deliver supply refills so primary contact can maintain the waste station.
If you’re interested in participating in the program, download and complete the Pet Waste Station Sponsor Agreement, then email it to the Stormwater manager at ebarnette@cityofclemson.org.
