Dog Waste

The City of Port Moody has set up red bins for dog waste in or near a number of parks and green spaces. These bins are to be used for dog waste generated during a walk or a visit in one of these spaces. Dog waste generated at the pet’s home or other location should be disposed of properly in the home. According to Metro Vancouver, dog waste (without the bag) can be flushed down the toilet. Flushing ensures the dog waste will go to a wastewater treatment plant with other sewage instead of a landfill.

Look for the red bins available for dog waste throughout the city. 

We take the dog waste to the Iona Island wastewater treatment plant. Our goal is to reduce the amount of dog waste that goes to a landfill. When in the landfill, dog waste produces methane as it breaks down, which is a greenhouse gas. Dog waste is better dealt with at a wastewater treatment plant.
