Pet Waste Stations

Pet Waste Stations and Signage - Design Plan and Installation

Your board members are dog lovers (and owners) too! Your HOA VOLUNTEER board planned, designed, and installed a total of 13 pet waste disposal and/or sign locations as designated below in the live map. Since the installation, we have seen a marked decrease in the piles of dog excrement. Our estimate is that at least 80% effectiveness has been achieved and beyond what was expected. In coordination with DoodyCalls and Ron Cooper (local franchisee), we did multiple on-site surveys to assess the existing problem and determine the best locations for waste stations and additional signage.

The project goal was to have high quality, low-maintenance installations that would be evenly dispersed throughout the community. A balance of effectiveness and aesthetic blending into the surroundings was of main concern. That goal was achieved to 100% and increases the quality of life for Cloverdale Overlook residents! We are in the process of adding more photos. The categories of these installation types are listed here:

1. Signage on existing entrance posts (3) to optimize effectiveness, visibility, and cost
2. Signage on new posts (2)
3. Signage and bags at back of mailboxes where a major part of the dog doody was found (4). These are clearly visible to residents.
4. Pet waste stations consisting of bags only with post and sign (2)
5. Pet waste stations consisting of bags, a basket, post and sign (4)

In addition, we have contracted with the local 5-star franchise of DoodyCalls led by Ron Cooper to clear the bins on a weekly basis. They also led the site survey/study, offered design expertise, and performed the installation. They did a super job, are highly professional, and a class act! Just look at the results for yourself. DoodyCalls is also the same vendor contracted for our weekly litter patrol.

The HOA board team members included:
