For a limited time, askHRgreen. org is offering free pet waste stations through a new grant. If your Hampton Roads neighborhood / HOA / community association is ready to make scooping the poop a priority, then you’re invited to apply.

Pet waste stations encourage residents to pick up after their pets by making it easy and convenient to do so. WHY A PET WASTE STATION IS SO IMPORTANT Scooping the poop is not only important for a clean neighborhood, it’s important for our local waterways. When pet waste is not picked up, it becomes a major source of pollution in our water.

Rainwater carries nitrogen and bacteria from pet waste into our storm drains and directly into our rivers, lakes, and streams. This excess nitrogen and bacteria transform the water into a cloudy, green, foul-smelling mess that lacks oxygen and becomes an aquatic dead zone. The same pollution is responsible for beach closures, fishing restrictions and warnings on eating local seafood.

Installing a pet waste station is one easy way to combat water pollution in your community. Apply for the pet waste application grant online. Applications will be accepted as long as pet waste stations are in stock.

Supplies are limited, so apply today! This grant is open to any neighborhood, community group, or property management company with the ability to install and maintain the pet waste station. We give you the station, you keep it up!
