Spearheading Conservation Awareness
How do you make someone WANT to pick up dog waste? You make it about conservation with our striking Conservation Arrowhead® design. This trademarked design belongs to us so no one is allowed to copy it, however you can purchase the design and we'll make your sign for you. We can even customize your sign with your park name and city. Conservation is something virtually everyone supports.
We sell the best dog waste stations on the market. We've done the homework for you, and with more than a decade in the business, we know how to get people to pick up after their dogs.
Dog Waste Station Features
We include our custom sign with each dog waste station. Our all-important header sign was created after years of experience in the industry. It's the first dog waste station that isn't a dog waste station, it's an Environmental Conservation Station where dog owners can support environmental conservation and feel good about themselves by picking up after their dog. No guilt. All positive.
Brilliant in its simplicity, our campaign is ready to implement in your community. We've done all the work so you can reap the rewards of better protected land and water resources, not to mention reduced fly populations polluting your greenscape. As a note, flies are "filth insects" that flourish and prosper by spreading disease to healthy humans and animals. Learn more about how flies spread disease here.
Custom Printed "Conservation Arrowhead" Sign
The concept embodied in the 5-color 18 in x 12 in x .080 gauge aluminum conservation arrowhead does 90% of the work to change attitudes and persuade cooperation. It sets the context. It's beautiful and it actually enhances an environment by it focuses attention on the value of your immediate environment. If visitors didn't already like the environment, they wouldn't be there. So we know this message is something with which they will agree and no one will disagree. The best marketing campaigns are virtually impossible to disagree with. Instead of making a dog waste station into a silent policeman ordering people to pick up their dog's waste, we are placing a station there that enables people to support local conservation. Even people who are immune to authority want to think of themselves as supportive of conservation.
We are also handling a key misconception that prevent dog owners from being more responsible—the idea that "dog waste is fertilizer" or that dog waste "just turns into dirt." Without explanation, our Conservation Arrowhead "positions" dog waste as a conservation issue. In that context, dog waste could not be fertilizer because if it was, it wouldn't be "conservation" to pick it up. Everyone wins without arguing.
Dog Waste Bags
There are four main types of dog waste bags. We can provide whatever type of dispenser you want.
ROLL BAGS: Roll bags are 50% to 150% more economical than any other style of waste bag. Our roll bags are configured vertically, on end, because that makes them less prone to binding and thus easier to use. Our dispenser holds up to 600 bags so is unlikely to ever run out. Any roll of poop bags will work in our dispenser.
STRAP-PULL BAGS: These are the most expensive style of bags but are the easiest to remove, particularly for people with arthritic hands. They are 150% more expensive than roll bags.
MITTEN BAGS: These are the easiest to pick up dog waste with, particularly with big dogs. They are 56% more expensive than roll bags.
TIE-HANDLE BAGS: These are the easiest to tie off, 50% more expensive than roll bags.
Bag Dispensers
We offer four styles of waste bag dispensers, one design corresponding to each style of bag. All are the same price and meet our high standards of quality construction.
Waste Receptacles
The common cylindrical basket-style container commonly seen on dog waste stations are popular, but they have some problems. These are often poorly made so allow the bags to fill up with rain water (making an awful mess). They can fail to hold the trash bags in place so they fall down into the bottom of the container with poop bags on top. They tend to let in flies and mosquitoes, lets odors out, and the large opening allows people to fill them up cups, bottles, picnic and party trash which prevents their proper use. They are vulnerable to vandalism. And the internal "hoops" which are ostensibly to hold a can liner in place (and which often do not work) grab onto a full bag when you try to remove it making the job more difficult than it needs to be.
Our waste receptacle has none of those problems. Our vault-style waste receptacle is sealed against the rain, sealed against insects (flies and breeding mosquitoes), and sealed to keep odors inside. It holds 11 gallons which is larger than the round "basket" kind. The chute on top prevents insertion of large items like wine bottles, etc., which fill up the trash bag and block dog owners from using it as a dog waste receptacle. It also locks to prevent vandalism.
Professional Installation
If you live in the greater Dallas, TX area and purchase a dog waste station from us or from someone else, we can professionally install it for you. We supply tools, concrete, transportation, post-hole, assembly—everything.
