The Bag It, Bin It, Campaign!

Enveco wraps up the third year of the Bag It, Bin It campaign

Enveco is proud to celebrate the successful conclusion of the third year of the Bag It, Bin It campaign. After three years of the campaign, 2025/26 has seen a major decrease in dog fouling reports, with a lot fewer reports made compared to last year.

The campaign aims to highlight the importance of responsible dog ownership, encouraging dog walkers to always carry bags and to always pick up after their dogs. With over 1,000 street and park litter bins available across the town, there is no excuse for leaving dog waste behind. Dog fouling poses serious health risks to both humans and animals and has a significant impact on the cleanliness and pride of our neighbourhoods.

This year’s campaign featured familiar and effective activities, including dog fouling stencils sprayed in hotspot areas to deter irresponsible behaviour, a successful campaign launch event at Stanley Park, and a Bag It, Bin It competition celebrating responsible dog owners. Three winners who each won a Pets at Home voucher were selected for doing the right thing.

One of the winners, Jeanne, pictured with Lola, said:

“The evidence of dog fouling on our streets shows a lack of ownership and responsibility. Campaigns like this really help highlight the issue.”

Another winner, Roselyn, pictured with Rose, added:

“The campaign itself is important because it encourages pride of place and reminds people that we all have a role to play in keeping our town clean.”

Our final winner, Hayley, pictured with Hamish, shared:

“The campaign reinforces the message that cleaning up after your dog comes with being a responsible owner.”

Enveco would like to thank residents for their continued support and responsible behaviour, helping to keep Blackpool clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.

How YOU Can #Getinvolved

f you are a dog walker, please pick up after your dog and ensure you have the means to pick up.

Often the autumn and winter nights divert dog owners to exercise their dogs closer to home, through residential streets, so if you don’t pass a bin please take it home or change your routes.

If you find a lot of dog fouling in your area request a dog stencil to encourage dog walkers to do the right thing using the below form, or you can report dog fouling using this link!
