How to Pick Up Large Amounts of Dog Poop Efficiently: DIY Tips and Why Swift Scoop is Here to Help

Cleaning up after your furry friends can be a daunting task, especially if your yard has accumulated a significant amount of dog poop. Here are some DIY tips to tackle the mess efficiently, plus why hiring Swift Scoop might be your ultimate solution.

DIY Tips for Picking Up Large Amounts of Dog Poop

  1. Gear Up with Proper Tools
    Invest in durable poop scooping tools like a rake-and-bin combo or a heavy-duty scooper designed for yard use. Avoid flimsy tools that may break or make the job messier.

  2. Plan Your Cleanup Strategy

    • Section the Yard: Divide your yard into smaller sections and focus on one at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

    • Start from Clean Areas: Begin at the cleanest section and work your way to the messiest to avoid stepping on uncollected piles.

  3. Use a Bag Liner for Easy Disposal
    Line your trash bin or scooping tool with a biodegradable bag for quick cleanup and eco-friendly disposal.

  4. Hydrate the Ground
    If the poop is dry and crumbly, spray the area lightly with water to make collection easier. However, don’t overdo it—too much water can create a bigger mess.

  5. Protect Your Hands and Nose
    Wear disposable gloves and a mask, especially if the poop has been sitting for a while. A sprinkle of baking soda on the poop can help neutralize odors.

  6. Keep a Regular Schedule
    Picking up poop regularly prevents overwhelming buildup and keeps your yard looking fresh. Aim for weekly cleanups or more frequently, depending on your dog's habits.
