FAQs for Center Trail dog walkers:
Question: Do I have to clean up my dog’s poop?
Answer: Yes. Poop bags are free of charge in dispensers at the trailheads on Main Street, Loop Road and Chamberlain Street.
Question: Doesn’t the town pick up dog poop?
Answer: No, but a brave volunteer empties about 100 pounds of poop from the trailhead receptacles each week. Imagine if it all were left lying along the trail.
Question: I don’t like having to carry a full poop bag. OK if I leave it along the trail?
Answer: No one likes carrying a poop bag, but they like having to pick up yours even less.
Question: OK if I just cover the poop up with snow?
Answer: When you put a bag of peas into the freezer, does it disappear, or is it still there when you open the door?
