Dog Poo

A clean city is a strong reflection of our civic values. Every individual plays an important part in keeping the environment clean.

Recently, we received a number of feedback on dog owners leaving behind their dogs’ poo in public areas in Siglap Estate. Animal waste such as dogs’ poo, if left uncleared, will cause smell nuisance and may transmit infectious diseases.

It is an offence to leave behind your dogs’ poo. A first-time offender can be fined up to $1,000. We strongly urge dog owners and their domestic helpers to act responsibly, pick up their dogs’ poo and dispose of them properly into litterbins.

When walking your dog in public places, bring along a small plastic bag to clear your dog’s poo. You can also use a piece of newspaper for your dog to poo on so that you can conveniently fold and dispose of it into a bin.

Such considerate acts will help keep the environment clean and hygienic.

Let’s be responsible dog owners.
