Bio-Baggies for Pet Waste
Utilizing funds from the NYSDEC grant for stormwater education and outreach, the Westchester County Department of Planning has obtained 15,000 biodegradable bio-baggies for pet waste and is prepared to distribute them among our 38 municipal partners. As one of these partners, the Town of Yorktown received 1,000 bio-baggies to distribute to residents.
The travel sized bio-baggy is packaged in a reusable pocket sized dispenser, which is large enough to hold 10 bags. Their purpose is to promote proper pickup and disposal of pet waste, which can be a major source of bacteria and excess nutrients in local waters.
Bio-baggies will be given out with dog licenses or can be picked up at the Town Clerk’s Office and the Parks and Recreation Department.
When you run out of your bio-baggies, continue to protect our lakes, streams, wildlife and water by purchasing your own bio-baggies. Here are just a few places they can be purchased:
