Dog Waste Strategy

Denby Dale Parish Council Dog Waste Strategy

Provision of free dog wastebags

Denby Dale Parish Council provides free dog wastebags in all villages in the Ward. These cost around £4,000 per year.

Please tie up the bags tightly before putting the filled bags into the ordinary litter bins, which will be emptied on a regular schedule by Kirklees Council.

Please encourage people to pick up after their dogs, and if you see anyone walking away from it, please report to the Kirklees Dog Warden Service via the website: https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/animals/dog-fouling.aspx.  People can be fined if there is a successful conviction of up to £1000.

Councillors voluntarily fill up the dispensers on a fairly regular basis, but certain dispensers appear to be emptied completely almost as soon as they are filled.  Please remember, dog walkers should take their own bags with them, and use the Parish Council’s as an emergency supply. 

Please don’t abuse this free supply, and only take one when you need it.
