Scoop the Poop

Published on 12 April 2023

There has been lots of smelly surprises being left on popular walking tracks in the Goulburn Mulwaree region, prompting Council to remind residents to scoop their dogs' poop when out and about in the community.

Goulburn Mulwaree Council is urging the community to pick up their dog poop and not leave it to others. It is recommended for dog walkers to carry a device such as a bag, to pick up what their pets leave behind. Doggy bags can easily be remembered by tying them to your pet's lead or using a collar-clipped doggy bag holder.

“We have a range of beautiful walking tracks in the region, but there is nothing pretty about stepping in dog poo.” Said Goulburn Mulwaree Council Mayor, Peter Walker.

“It is also timely to remind dog owners that if you're in a public place, dogs must always be kept on a lead except in areas marked as 'off-leash'.” Mr Walker Continued.
