Trash Pick-Up Information, Schedule & Volunteers


K9COLA

Park trash is picked up by volunteers and we always need people to help with this job! Please help keep our Park clean and welcoming by offering your services for a week!

Trash collection volunteers:

  • Empty the trash can inside the training yard gate. Make sure the bungee cords around the top of the can is a few inches down from the top so the lid fits securely. The full waste bags must be put into the dumpster in the parking lot. At this time the dumpster is not locked.
  • The City provides the large black plastic trash bag liners used to line the trash can. These are kept in the designated trash can inside the planter just outside the training yard gate.
  • Refill the two poop bag holders in the main yard. These are mounted on fence poles, one on the north fence and one on the south fence. The empty plastic bags are stored in the designated trash can in the planter just outside the training yard.
Please consider volunteering to do this on a weekend; if you'd like to take the same weekend each month, or in alternating months, just let Erin (volunteer@k9cola.org), the volunteer coordinator, know. Though when the weather is cold, once a week is enough, the trash needs to be emptied twice a week during warm weather months (notably May-September) because of the smell -- the can will also get very full and heavy during these months when the Park is heavily used if it's not emptied mid-week. Consequently, if you can volunteer for mid-week pick-ups during the warmer months, that's greatly appreciated!

You can check the schedule here. If you've volunteered to do the trash, but are unable to fulfill your obligation, contact Erin at volunteer@k9cola.org.

Thanks for your help and support of the Park!
