Langley City in B.C. launches pilot program

Langley City has launched a pilot project to better manage dog waste by setting up four bins in off-leash parks, and 18 on City trails.

"The Dog Waste Bin Pilot Project represents an important step toward more responsible waste management practices and reflects our ongoing commitment to improving service levels in our parks,” said Tara Macrae, Manager of Engineering and Parks Operations.

“By addressing dog waste more effectively, we're enhancing the cleanliness and overall experience of our shared public spaces.”

A City announcement of the pilot program warned throwing dog waste in with regular garbage "sends it to landfills, where it releases methane, pollutes the environment and contributes to climate change."
