Keep Strathaven clean during national poop scoop week

21 July
  • Keep Strathaven clean - pick up after your dog!

Help to keep Strathaven clean - as from Monday July 26th to Sunday August 1st it's National Poop Scoop Week - organised by Keep Scotland Beautiful.

There are free dog waste bags available on request from Strathaven Library - so there's no excuse not to pick up after your dog and what's more you will avoid a £40 fine.

Dog fouling is a real scourge on our streets - and it's illegal not to pick up after your dog. You can be fined £40 so it makes sense to pick up the waste and place in in the nearest bin.

I would never not pick up after my dog. The real problem is what to do with it when your dog poops on Lethame Rd on the way out to towards the airfield. My dog has a habit of not wanting to do her business near a poop bin and so one is left to carry the lovely parcel all the way round the dog pond and back. Ideally would love to see a poop / litter bin located at the very top of Lethame rd just past the last house on the right as you go out of Strathaven, anyone else agree?

Scott - I have read what you have to say and all you need do is phone South Lanarkshire Council's Environmental Health Department and request a poop bin be installed at the locus.

Sounds like a great idea, thanks Bob.
