National Poop Scoop Week
Poop Scoop Week, organised by Dogs Trust, takes place every year in conjunction with local authorities across the UK. The aim of the week is to promote responsible dog ownership and encourage owners to clear up after their dogs. This year it will take place during the week beginning 26th July. 

Dog fouling is a problem the charity is determined to tackle. The campaign slogan ‘Bag it and Bin it’ is a simple reminder to all dog owners.

Clarissa Baldwin, Dogs Trust Chief Executive, explains:“We want Poop Scoop Week to be about saying thank you and well done to the millions of well-behaved dog owners, but also to remind the irresponsible minority that their dog can’t pick up after itself.
 
If every dog owner fulfils their duty we can all look forward to summer strolls and picnics in parks free from the worry of dog poop! Let’s make Poop Scoop Week the week everybody takes responsibility – we will be amazed at the difference we can make.”
