In 2021, Langley City completed an audit of what people put in public garbage bins on our streets and trails. I’m sure it won’t come as a surprise, but most of it was pet waste. The best practice is to dispose of pet waste in the sewer system, as pet waste in landfills releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas. At last weekend’s Earth Day celebration, Langley City’s Environmental Sustainability Committee presented information on an upcoming pet waste pilot for our community.

The City will place special pet waste bins throughout the community, as shown in the following map.

The pet waste in these bins will be processed appropriately. Be on the lookout for these bins in the next little bit. I’m very excited about this project and its impact on allowing people to do the right thing with pet waste.

The worst part is the people that actually pick it up and bag it, and then throw the bag in the bush. Just leave it if you’re not going to pick it up. We don’t need more plastic waste.If the city wants more money, just put bylaw officers in park and fine people. $$$$
