About Our Company
Pet Poo Skiddoo, We scoop up the poo and compost it too!
Okay, you probably didn't even know a company like this could exist, but it's true! In fact, we are one of only a handful in the entire country. You might be asking yourself, "could I really scoop p**p for a living?" but it's so much more than that. There's over 20 billion pounds of dog waste generated every year in the U.S. alone, so much of which is wrapped in tiny plastic bags and dumped into our landfills.
We're here to change that. All bags we use and provide for pet waste stations are 100% compostable and so all those bags, dog waste -even compostable cat litter, is thrown straight into our composters and processed into a beautiful fertilizer.
Just think of all those fun puns you'll get to say...
" Number 2 is always at the top of our list."
Q: “How’s business?” A: “It’s picking up!”
" I don’t waste time, I get waste over time."
" If I take a day off, my workload quickly piles up."
