A new business in Sooke is banishing pet poo from local yards.

Poop No More started up about a month ago, and is owned and operated solely by resident Lena Cro, an animal enthusiast.

B次元官网网址淚 wanted to do something that connects me, in some way or another, to dogs. I am a huge dog lover,B次元官网网址� said Cro. B次元官网网址淎nd I thought pet waste removal is something thatB次元官网网址檚 needed.B次元官网网址�

Cro goes to yards in the region, removes all of the waste and then composts it, so that it doesnB次元官网网址檛 go into little bags or into landfills.

B次元官网网址淚 just started and have had a few people sign up for the service. IB次元官网网址檝e also had a lot of people reach out and ask questions, so I am really happy about that,B次元官网网址� said Cro.

She aims to get people signed up for the service on a weekly basis, and charges are based on mileage and the size of a yard. If people within the same neighbourhood sign up, the charge may be discounted.

B次元官网网址淗opefully things will take off,B次元官网网址� said Cro. B次元官网网址淚t has been great so far. I love being outside, and I love the proximity to animals. Sometimes I see the dogs poking their nose out of the house looking at me. I also love the parents of dogs.B次元官网网址�

Cro aspires to see her business grow, and eventually be able to hire someone to help her. She also has a vision of offering the same kind of service for parks in the Capital Regional District.

B次元官网网址淚 noticed a lot of dog B次元官网网址� deposits, shall we say B次元官网网址� and bags that people fill and leave behind in parks and on trails. So I have spent my own time at places like Whiffin Spit every couple of weeks cleaning up the pet waste,B次元官网网址� said Cro. B次元官网网址淚 talked to the CRD about collaborating and going into parks to do the same thing, but unfortunately was told it wouldnB次元官网网址檛 fit in the budget. ThatB次元官网网址檚 alright though, I still donB次元官网网址檛 mind volunteering.B次元官网网址�

For now, Cro will stick to personalized yard tidying, and says she is available to work any day of the week.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 so funny, though it may be an B次元官网网址榠ckB次元官网网址� for others, I find a satisfaction in the work,B次元官网网址� said Cro. B次元官网网址淎nd a sense of relief once the yard is clean.B次元官网网址�
