Green Dog Walkers Scheme (GDW)
The Green Dog Walkers Scheme (GDW) is a community-led initiative to combat dog fouling.
Volunteers will have a GDW wristband or dog collar, which means they will:
- clean up after their dog
- carry extra dog waste bags
- lend a dog waste bag to those without
- be a friendly reminder to other dog walkers to clean up after their dogs
How to join
The Green Dog Walkers Scheme is designed to be run by local community groups in their own communities.
Community or tenant groups can join if they are:
- a constituted community group
- able to administer the project, for example, distribution of materials, meeting mailing costs
- able to help with promoting the campaign in your area
- run or volunteer in at least events annually
- able to help with the monitoring and evaluation of the campaign
