1. Dog Waste Removal
Each person who owns, or controls a dog must remove any
feces left by that dog on any sidewalk, gutter, street, or other
public area and dispose of it in a legal manner. The person may
remove the feces and carry them away with him/her for disposal
in a toilet or place them in a non-leak in container or bag and
deposit them in a DSNY litter basket. The provisions of this law
do not apply to a guide

2. Fact About Dog Poop
• Dog poop often contains roundworm larvae, which cause blindness.
If a human ingests a roundworm larva, it can cause disease to the
brain, lungs, kidneys, liver, heart or eyes. So when people touch
soil, dog toys or anything that has been in contact with dog feces
and then touch their mouths, they can become infected.
