As caring members of the human community, our maintenance staff works diligently to service every single one of our stations, every single week, regardless of whether or not they are empty. Through this program, overworked Parks & Rec employees will be relieved of any responsibilities for checking bag stations, or securing the funds for keeping them filled with user-friendly supplies.

Poo Free Parks is able to provide this public service at minimal cost to the public by giving businesses the opportunity to sponsor dispensers and bags through advertising on signage attached to each station. Program sponsorship is similar in concept to the litter control programs along our nation’s roads and highways, where a tasteful sign announces what group or company is sponsoring the cleanup of a particular section of road, enabling organizations to contribute to a community service and receive recognition for doing so.
