Dog poop pickup in Burlington, Vermont

Yes — we serve Burlington.

We scoop two routes in Burlington: Burlington Downtown Area (05401, 05405) and New North End (05408). Weekly, twice-weekly, or a one-time catch-up on a yard that's got away from you — we scoop it, bag it, and take it with us.

Burlington's scoop law

Yes — Burlington requires you to pick up after your dog (BCO Sec. 5-17).

Fines escalate with each offence: $200–$250, then $250–$350, then $350–$500. Your dog must be leashed; voice control isn’t enough.

Dog licences are due April 1 each year — $27 spayed/neutered, $47 intact. Licensing is the one dog rule Vermont sets statewide (20 V.S.A. ch. 193); everything above is Burlington's own.

We counted these ourselves, out of Burlington's own annual town report. It's a floor, not a headcount — clerks report widespread under-registration, so the real number is likely two to three times higher. The tonnage is a derived estimate at 274 lb per dog per year. See every town →
