Dog poop in snow: what to do in a Colorado winter
Why dog waste piles up under Colorado snow, what happens at the spring thaw, and how winter pooper scooper service works.
What to know
Should you pick up dog poop in the winter?
Yes. Cold weather slows decomposition, and snow can hide waste until it melts. Pick up visible waste through winter to limit spring buildup and material available to wash into drains. Our team cleans accessible areas and catches up on snow-covered waste when conditions allow.
