Did You Know Tail End operates year round?🐾

Many people think dog p**p pickup is only available or needed in the spring and summer, but the reality is that dog p**p doesn't stop piling up when the weather changes.
Throughout the fall, leaves can quickly cover piles, making them easy to miss. Then winter arrives, and brings in the snow. Before you know it, months of buildup are waiting to be discovered.

By continuing our service throughout the fall and winter, we help keep your yard cleaner, reduce spring cleanup headaches, and ensure you're not dealing with a season's worth of surprises when the warm weather returns.

And there's another great benefit to staying signed up through the fall and winter!
Customers who continue their regular service throughout the winter won't have to pay the one time spring cleanup fee when the snow melts. You'll simply continue with your regular service and enjoy a cleaner yard without that extra spring charge.

Whether it's your backyard, a strata or managed property, Tail End is here year round to help keep your outdoor spaces clean and enjoyable.

Fully licensed and insured🐾
Because your dog's business is our business! 🐾

Lake Country, as promised, we went back! 💩

After yesterday’s post, we received some great feedback from our community, so today we went back to Lodge Road and the Rail Trail to clean up everything we had shown you.

And we found even more.

One and a half bags full from one stretch of trail.

Of course, we brought the Scoop Cam and filmed the whole cleanup so you can see exactly what goes into getting this stuff off our trails.

It takes a lot of work, time and effort to keep public spaces clean. As a small, local family business, we were happy to donate our time today and do a good deed for the community we live in.

But it also reinforced something we said yesterday. This is a service the District of Lake Country could genuinely utilize. Regular cleanup of high traffic areas would make a noticeable difference, and we would love the opportunity to help.

Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation, shared your experiences and supported our little community cleanup.

Now check out the Scoop Cam!

One less pile at a time.

Lake Country, we need to talk about the dog p**p problem.

Check out the video below. You have to see it to believe it. Although, if you’re out walking our trails and parks, you’ve probably already seen it for yourself.

We took a bike ride around Lake Country today and were honestly shocked by what we saw. We actually had to go back and walk some of the spots just so we could show you what we were seeing.

This video is along Lodge Road and down the Rail Trail, and it’s just one small stretch of our community.

Pile after pile after pile.

We notice dog waste more than most because this is what we do for a living, but we also regularly see residents talking about the same issue on local Facebook groups.

And this isn’t just about keeping our beautiful trails and public spaces clean. Dog waste can create hazards for people and other dogs, contribute to the spread of bacteria, parasites and illness, and when left behind, rain can carry contaminants into storm drains and eventually into our waterways.

Lake Country already has a bylaw requiring dog owners to immediately pick up and properly dispose of their dog’s waste. Failing to pick up after your dog can result in a $150 municipal ticket.

But honestly, when you see the amount of dog waste being left throughout our community, it makes you wonder whether enough is being done to address the problem.

Ultimately, responsibility goes both ways. As dog owners, we all need to step up and do our part. At the same time, we think there needs to be a conversation about what more can be done to keep our public spaces clean.

So we want to hear from our Lake Country neighbours.

Have you noticed this in your neighbourhood? Have you encountered piles while walking the Rail Trail or other trails? Has dog waste affected your experience at a local park, beach or other community space?

Tell us where you’re seeing it. We want to hear your experiences.

TAIL END is a small, local, family run business right here in Lake Country. Last year, we volunteered our services to clean up the dog beach at Okanagan Centre, and the District was kind enough to recognize our efforts.

We were happy to help then, and we’re still happy to help now.

But it’s clear that this is much bigger than a one time volunteer cleanup.

We would genuinely love the opportunity to work with the District of Lake Country, even through an ongoing contracted cleanup service, to help keep our trails, parks and public spaces cleaner and safer for everyone.

We’re posting this because this is our community too. We aren’t looking to shame responsible dog owners. We’re looking to start a conversation about a problem that is clearly visible, that residents are already talking about, and that we believe has a practical local solution.

Lake Country, what are you seeing?
