Frequently asked questions
Services
We scoop dog poop at homes, HOA and apartment communities, and workplaces. We also clean, restock and maintain pet waste stations and sanitize the areas we clean with our Wysiwash systems. And we haul every bit of it away. Nothing stays behind in your trash can.
Most of Metro Atlanta, from Woodstock to Peachtree City and in-between.

Nope. If a dog left it, we’ll scoop it and take it with us. We service homes, townhomes, apartments and multifamily communities, HOAs, commercial properties, parks and dog parks, vet clinics, special events and pet waste stations. One limit: we’re dog-only. No llamas, alpacas, chickens, rabbits, reptiles, horses, pigs or birds.
Yes, and we’re good at keeping the peace while we do it. Call or text us and we’ll talk through the options for fixing the problem (and the smell) without starting a feud.
Payments & Contracts
No. There’s no long-term contract.
Dirty Work invoices once per month based on average monthly cleanings. For an easier process, we can automatically charge your credit card each month for no additional fee. We accept most major credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, checks, ACH and bank transfers. Visit our payment page to pay an invoice.
Yes. It’s called the Re-Doo Guarantee. If you’re not completely happy, contact us within 24 hours of service and we’ll re-clean for free or refund your money. No questions asked.
Scooping
No. Dogs eat a high-protein diet, so their poop is acidic enough to burn grass. It does break down eventually, but the bacteria, viruses and parasites in it stay in the soil. Rain and foot traffic then spread them into other yards, streams, and onto pets and people.
More than you’d want to think about. Dog waste can carry roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, tapeworms, coccidia, Giardia, parvovirus, and bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli. Several of these, including roundworms, hookworms and Giardia, can infect people too. Kids are most at risk, since they play where dogs go.
No. Stormwater never goes to a treatment plant. Ponds and swales catch sediment, but germs from dog waste flow right through into local streams and, eventually, the Chattahoochee. That’s why prompt removal matters. It’s also why our technicians disinfect their tools and boots between every yard and property.
In our opinion, no. A pet waste digester works a lot like a broken septic tank, which is basically burying the poop. They often fail in Georgia clay, in high water tables and in cold weather. Even when they work, there’s little evidence they treat dog waste well enough.
Other Details
Yes. We’re fully licensed and insured, with workers’ compensation, general liability and umbrella coverage. We’re also verified through Compliance Depot, Registry Monitoring, Vive and Yardi VENDORcafe, which property managers use to vet their vendors.
We take it away, every visit, at no extra charge, unlike many services. Your trash cans stay free of waste, odor and pests.
Usually, yes. We got into this business because we love dogs! But our tools are metal, and jumpy dogs and sharp corners don’t mix. If your dog is a jumper or protective of the yard, please keep them inside during the visit. If a dog shows real aggression, we’ll need them inside every time. We’re happy to set up a heads-up text before we open your gate.
Absolutely. We run holiday food and supply drives for licensed shelters, volunteer with animal charities, and scoop at adoption events. If your group could use a sponsor or a hand, please get in touch.
Weekly service starts at $16 per visit, and twice-a-week service drops to $13 per visit. Your exact rate depends on where you live, the size of your yard and a few other details. Enter your ZIP code in the Free Quote box for a fast, free quote. Every plan is contract-free, and we always haul the waste away.
Nope, and most of our clients aren’t. We keep your gate code or access notes on file, so your tech knows exactly how to get in. Just keep dogs inside if they’re jumpers or guard the yard. We’ll scoop, haul everything away, latch the gate behind us, and texted photo you when service is complete.
Yes, and a 50% deposit is required before we arrive. Please contact our office and we will gladly make the arrangements to get you in barefoot backyard shape!
