[RP TownTalk] pet stations

[ABragg7393 at aol.com]

You are a responsible dog owner, Adrianne.  I always carry my own bags  as 
well.  I even clean up after "unknown" dogs and owners.  However,  if a station 
would help for those who don't carry a bag or "forget" their bags  it would be 
a good thing.  Keeping a clean town, and a clean river and  preventing rats 
is worth a small price to me. Audrey

Hi all,  I was thinking it would be nice to have "pet stations" around  town  
to dispose of pet waste when walking your dog.  Would any of the dog  
 walker/owners be interested in contributing to acquiring a couple of  
stations.  
 I 
 thought perhaps we could start with one at the entrance to the  park, then 
the 
 next one could be at town center, then one at the Mansion.   We could buy 
them 
 one at  time.  Perhaps one a year.  I checked  on the costs and for a 
complete 
 station with bag dispenser, steel waste  receptacle, pet sign, Lid for 
 receptacle,  mounting post, and bags would  cost $329.  If we had 20 pet 
owners 
 interested it could cost less than $20  for our first station.  Maybe we 
could 
 do 
 them at 6 month intervals.   We would probably need to get permission and 
 cooperation from the town, but I  would like to know if there is an interest 
 before 
 I pursue that.
 Please let me know if you are interested in this project.
 ps.  college park has one if you care to see what it would look  like.
 Audrey
