Dog Waste Removal in Nashville TN

Why It’s Essential for Pet Friendly Yards and Businesses

By Jasmine Love, Owner of The Scoop Squad, Nashville’s trusted dog waste removal experts

Why Dog Waste Removal Matters More Than You Think

When most people think about keeping their yard or property clean, they picture mowing the grass, trimming hedges, or sweeping sidewalks. But in a pet friendly city like Nashville TN, there is another chore that makes a huge difference: dog waste removal.

I am Jasmine Love, owner of The Scoop Squad, and for years I have specialized in helping families, property managers, HOAs, apartment complexes, and businesses keep their green spaces clean, safe, and welcoming. Dog poop is not “just fertilizer.” In fact, leaving it behind is one of the fastest ways to harm your yard, your community, and your reputation if you manage a dog friendly property.

In this article, I will walk you through why professional pet waste removal is not just a convenience. It is a necessity, especially for businesses and corporate properties that want to attract pet loving tenants, employees, or customers.

The Hidden Dangers of Dog Waste

Dog poop is not like cow manure or compost. It does not break down in a way that enriches soil. Instead, it carries harmful bacteria and parasites such as:

• E. coli and Salmonella which can transfer to humans and pets

• Roundworms and hookworms which linger in the soil for months

• Giardia and parvovirus highly contagious pathogens that thrive in communal pet areas

When left uncollected, dog waste seeps into the soil, contaminates local waterways, and spreads disease. In neighborhoods and shared corporate spaces, this creates unsafe conditions for children, other pets, and even landscaping crews.

For businesses, one overlooked pile can quickly turn into a reputation problem. Employees walking into your office with soiled shoes, customers avoiding grassy areas, or tenants complaining about foul odors can cost you more than the cleanup ever would.

Why Nashville Needs Professional Pooper Scoopers

Nashville is booming, with new apartments, condos, and businesses popping up every month. Many of these developments advertise themselves as dog friendly to attract tenants and employees. That is great news for pet owners, but it comes with a challenge:

• Apartment complexes now have hundreds of dogs sharing small green spaces

• Corporate campuses are creating pet friendly courtyards but struggle to maintain them

• HOAs and neighborhoods are promoting dog friendly amenities but need consistent upkeep

When property managers or business owners try to handle this in house, it rarely works. Groundskeepers may not have time to patrol daily. Maintenance staff may overlook areas at night. Tenants often assume someone else will pick it up.

That is where we come in. At The Scoop Squad, our trained team has one focus: keeping your yard or property spotless week after week.

Residential vs Commercial Dog Waste Removal

We serve both homeowners and businesses across Nashville, but the approach is different.

For Homeowners

• Weekly or monthly yard cleanups

• Odor control and sanitization treatments

• Affordable flat pricing with no contracts

For Businesses HOAs and Apartments

• Scheduled sweeps multiple times per week for high traffic areas

• Installation and maintenance of pet waste stations with bags

• Commercial grade odor control solutions

• Detailed reports for property managers and HOA boards

• Custom service agreements that scale with property size

For corporate contracts, we essentially become your pet waste management partner, so your team never has to worry about complaints, fines, or liability.

The Real Cost of Ignoring Dog Waste

It might be tempting for some businesses to think, “We will just let residents handle it.” Unfortunately, that approach usually backfires.

1. Tenant dissatisfaction no one wants to live or work in a property with a poop problem

2. Declining property value unsanitary grounds make your property look neglected

3. Legal and HOA issues pet waste can violate local ordinances and HOA bylaws

4. Higher landscaping costs dog waste burns grass and damages landscaping, costing more in replacement

5. Health complaints exposure to bacteria can create liability concerns for businesses

Compared to the cost of lost tenants, lawsuits, or repeated landscaping fixes, hiring a professional service like Scoop Squad is a low cost insurance policy.

Case Study: Nashville Corporate Courtyard

One of our recent corporate clients in downtown Nashville was struggling with their dog friendly courtyard. Employees loved bringing their pets to work, but the maintenance crew could not keep up with the waste. Complaints started piling in, and the property manager worried about their company image.

We stepped in with a custom contract:

• Daily sweeps of the courtyard and walkways

• Weekly odor control treatment

• Pet waste station installation and servicing

Within two weeks, complaints dropped to zero. The property manager told us employees were actually spending more time in the courtyard, making it a perk again rather than a problem.
