The initiative, which is a collaborative effort with the Public Works Department’s Parks, Cemeteries, and Recreation Unit, aims to provide a more hygienic and safe environment for both residents and visitors. The initiative’s success can be measured by the installation of 21 dog waste bins across Grand Cayman, from East End to West Bay. The initiative is built upon the following core objectives:
1. To enhance public health and sanitation by providing proper receptacles for dog waste. 2. To reduce disease transmission risks to both animals and humans. 3. To encourage legal compliance with proper waste disposal regulations. 4. To protect the natural environment by keeping public spaces clean. A key aspect of this initiative is its focus on public awareness and education. The Animal Welfare and Control Unit is urging all dog owners to use the designated bins responsibly and in accordance with the law. The department encourages dog owners to dispose of canine waste in the bins provided, as this practice is essential for maintaining a clean and healthy environment. The initiative is not only a step towards improving public health but also a way to promote environmental sustainability.
