Dog fouling

You must bag dog waste and put it in either a dog waste bin or a normal litter bin. If you don't, you may receive a fixed penalty notice, or face court action and a fine. We work with District Enforcement to enforce this.

Report dog fouling that needs clearing

If there is a lot of waste or regular fouling in a particular area, please report the issue so that we can clear it:

Report dog fouling for clearance 

Report someone for not picking up after their dog

If you see someone failing to pick up after their dog, please report it by emailing: animalwelfare@dacorum.gov.uk.

We will look into it and either speak to the person to raise awareness or take enforcement action if needed.

When reporting, please give as much detail as you can, including:

• Your name, address and telephone number
• The date, time and location of the incident. (You can also use what3words to let us know the location)
• Any photos / videos showing the offence
• The name(s) and address(es) of the persons involved (if known)
• A description of the dog.
