Dogs can contract diseases from infected poos such as:
Most are highly contagious and often fatal (especially for puppies). If the poo isn’t picked up and breaks down in the soil, some of these diseases can be present in that soil for up to two years.
Dog owners are responsible for picking up after their dogs and we encourage you to carry your own poo bags. Failure to pick up after your dog in public may result in a fine of $100.
There is a legal obligation on dog owners to pick up after their dogs whilst in public areas. The City has provided dog poo bag dispensers on a number of public bins throughout the City. The dog poo bags are only replenished when the bin is collected and the City does not provide any guarantee that the dispenser will always contain dog poo bags.
Dog poo bags are provided by the City to assist dog owners but it is their responsibility to ensure they always have dog poo bags on hand where walking their dog. Dog poo bags can also be purchased at retail outlets.
The City has moved towards the supply of compostable dog poo bags at our bins. Compostable bags are significantly more expensive than single use dog poo bags, but they provide many environmental benefits.

FAQs
Why aren’t the dog poo bags on public bins replenished more often?
Dog poo bags are replenished by our waste contractor on a weekly basis when they empty the bin. It is important to note that the obligation to supply dog poo bags rests with the dog owner and the City provides this service to assist dog owners in meeting their obligations of picking up after their dogs.
Why don't all public bins have dog poo bags?
Due to the significant expense involved in purchasing dispensers and the ongoing costs of supplying bags. The City has over 800 public bins throughout the City and the cost to supply bags to every bin is very significant.
Dog owners are responsible for supplying dog waste bags when walking their dog, however, the City provides a supply of dog poo bags to public bins to assist dog owners in the case that they may not have a bag available. Dog poo bags are readily available from large retail outlets in Mandurah.
