The Hidden Threat in Our Backyards

💧 Why Dog Waste Management Matters for Ohio’s Watersheds

Dog waste is more than just a backyard nuisance — it’s a Hidden Environmental Threat, especially in Ohio communities. When left unmanaged, pet waste can wash into local waterways during rainfall, carrying harmful bacteria, parasites, and excess nutrients that can disrupt Ohio’s watershed systems.

Professional dog waste removal services play a critical role in protecting Northeast Ohio’s environment. At TheScoopNinjas™, we proudly serve a wide region including:

  • Akron
  • Portage Lakes
  • North Canton
  • Medina
  • Strongsville
  • Stow
  • Kent
  • North Ridgeville
  • North Olmsted
  • Wooster

These communities are part of several vital watershed systems, including:

  • Cuyahoga River Watershed (Kent, Stow, Akron)
  • Rocky River Watershed (North Olmsted, North Ridgeville)
  • Tuscarawas River Watershed (Wooster and surrounding areas)
  • Portage Lakes Watershed
  • Medina County Watershed

By ensuring routine dog poop cleanup and eco-friendly disposal, we help prevent contaminants from entering these interconnected Ohio water systems.
