Why Wilmington Property Managers Choose DoodyCalls of Coastal NC
We focus on pet waste removal and station installation. That’s it. General maintenance companies handle dozens of services; we handle one, and that focus shows in the results. Our technicians arrive in uniform and branded vehicles, so residents and property staff know exactly who’s on site and why.
Every property is different, so we build customizable plans around your layout, foot traffic, and resident count. We’re also committed to proper disposal practices, so waste leaves your property in a way that doesn’t create a downstream problem for Wilmington’s waterways or stormwater system.
How We Install a Pet Waste Station
Installation is straightforward but detail-dependent. Here’s what it involves:
- Posthole preparation: We dig or drill a hole approximately 18 inches deep at the chosen location.
- Post assembly and leveling: The post is assembled and set level before the base is secured.
- Cementing: We cement the base in place and let it set fully before proceeding.
- Sign and bag dispenser installation: Once the post is secure, we attach the signage and bag dispenser to complete the station.
A station we install comes with one year of maintenance when paired with our pet waste station services. Bags get refilled, bins get emptied, and hardware stays tight without you having to track any of it. Our installation and maintenance approach draws on more than 25 years of experience across the DoodyCalls network.
Choosing the Right Placement on Your Property
Where a dog waste station goes matters almost as much as having one. A poorly placed station gets ignored; a well-placed one gets used consistently. We can help you think through placement before anything hits the ground.
A few things we consider together:
- Foot traffic and density: Properties with more homes or heavier dog-walking traffic need stations positioned to intercept those routes naturally.
- Distance from occupied spaces: Stations should sit away from doors, windows, playgrounds, and benches to avoid occasional odor issues.
- Spacing: We recommend walking the proposed area to confirm stations aren’t too far apart, too close together, or inconvenient before finalizing the plan.
What Ongoing Station Maintenance Covers
A newly installed station only stays useful if it’s regularly maintained. We recommend servicing pet waste stations at least once a week. Each visit includes refilling bags, emptying the waste bin, tightening hardware, lubricating components, making any necessary repairs, and cleaning up nearby missed waste.
Skipping maintenance is where stations fail. An empty bag dispenser signals to residents that there’s no expectation to clean up, and an overflowing bin creates the exact problem you installed the station to prevent. Our pet waste station services help keep that from happening.
Why Wilmington Communities Can’t Afford to Skip This
New Hanover County has approximately 33,800 registered dogs. At roughly three-quarters of a pound of waste per dog per day, that adds up to about 12.5 tons of dog waste generated across the county daily. A meaningful share of that ends up in community common areas, walking trails, and green spaces.
Wilmington requires pet owners to clean up after their animals on public property, with a $250 fine for non-compliance. The city’s stormwater guidance specifically calls on apartment complexes and HOAs to adopt and enforce a pet waste policy. When it rains, uncollected waste doesn’t just sit there: bacteria and pathogens wash directly into the stormwater system and local waterways. Beyond water quality, unattended waste attracts rodents and creates health hazards for residents and their pets.
Accessible, well-maintained dog waste stations can be one of the simplest ways to shift behavior at the property level.
