Dog owners asked to dispose of waste properly on greenway trails
Dog owners are welcome to bring their pets to San Antonio’s greenway trails as long as they comply with leash and waste disposal laws. City officials have had complaints about dog waste left on the trails or not property deposited in trash cans.Members of the city’s Linear Creekway Parks Advisory Board recently discussed complaints from residents about users of the greenway trails system not picking up after their dogs or properly disposing of waste.
People have often used a “mutt mitt” to pick it up, then left it by the trail, Brandon Ross, the city’s special projects manager overseeing the greenways, told the panel. The San Antonio Parks & Recreation Department provides the lightweight animal waste bags through about 200 dispensers in the parks and trail systems.Under city ordinance, dog owners and keepers are required to have those pets on leashes in public and carry a container for the “sanitary removal of the animal’s fecal matter.
The city provides trash containers at higher elevations, but kt can’t place them along the creeks because of potential contamination during storms. Ross said he’s hoping growth and collaboration of local will help educate trail users with gentle reminders that responsible pet ownership helps the environment.
