Local scoop
1950s homes, same old chore
Nearly 40 percent of Roseville's homes were built in the 1950s. Styles have changed since then. Dog cleanup hasn't.
We scoop all of 48066, so you can spend less time on backyard patrol. Missed a spot? Tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back free.
Where Roseville dogs roam
Roseville's park rules are strict about dogs. Under city code, dogs may use parking areas, the walks right next to them and spots signed "Domestic Animals Permitted in This Area," always on a leash of six feet or less.
For off-leash play, there's MiDOG Park, run by the Recreation Authority of Roseville and Eastpointe. It sits in Eastpointe's Memorial Park at Ten Mile and Flower, and key fobs come from the Recreation Authority Center on Sycamore in Roseville. St. Clair Shores' Statler-Maloof Bark Park, just east, sells non-resident memberships after an etiquette class.

Smaller lots fill up faster
Roseville's housing is mostly older, with nearly 40 percent built between 1950 and 1959, and lots are smaller than in the newer townships. On a smaller lot, the same dog covers more of the grass, so how often you scoop matters.
Start with weekly visits for one or two dogs. A bigger pack on a small lot really benefits from twice a week, while a single small dog may only need us every other week. Add haul-away if you'd rather the waste not wait in your trash can.
Straight toward Lake St. Clair
Roseville is part of the Lake St. Clair Direct Drainage subwatershed, so whatever rain rinses off a yard is headed toward the lake. Sewage here runs through the county's Martin district. On most days, that flow goes to a treatment plant in Detroit. In peak storms, the Martin basin in St. Clair Shores fills, and overflow is discharged into Lake St. Clair.
The Macomb County Health Department asks pet owners to pick up routinely and put waste in the garbage. We handle that part on every visit, and the lake never has to hear about it.
The local rule: Off your property, keep your dog from going on public or private property, or pick it up right away and dispose of it properly. (Roseville Code § 75-6C)
