At DoodyCalls® of Columbia, we make it easy for property managers and community leaders to keep pet-friendly spaces clean and complaint-free.

We focus on one thing: dog waste. With more than 25 years of pet waste management experience behind the DoodyCalls brand, we know how to reduce mess, odor, and health risks in shared spaces.

When dog waste is left on lawns and walking paths, it is more than just a nuisance. It can create dog waste health hazards, attract rodents, and pull your property below community cleanliness standards. A well-placed dog waste station makes it simple for residents and visitors to do the right thing and support responsible pet ownership without awkward confrontations.

Why Property Managers Choose Our Pet Waste Station Installation Service

We are not a general maintenance company that happens to offer dog waste cleanup. We live and breathe pet waste solutions. DoodyCalls designs and sells its own line of pet waste stations shaped by decades of field experience and real-world feedback from property managers, HOA boards, and residents.

Our pet waste stations are built for durability and ease of use. Stations come on 8-ft posts in green and black, and installed stations are typically six to seven feet tall including the station sign. All visible hardware is powder-coated to match, and the waste receptacles are made of heavy-duty aluminum so they can stand up to weather and daily use.

Built to last: Two-piece, powder-coated, square posts and tough aluminum waste bins resist rust and leaning over time.
Flexible bag options: Bag dispensers support roll-style bags or header-style bags so you can match your preferred supplies.
Look that fits your property: Stations come in several sizes, shapes, and colors, so we can recommend models that blend with your existing pet-friendly community amenities.

Pet waste station installation is just the start. We manage every aspect of your station program: installation, waste bin emptying, pet waste bag replacement, hardware maintenance, and repairs. Our technicians also pick up any loose waste within a six-foot radius of each station on every service visit so the area around your stations always looks clean and inviting.

Because no two properties are the same, our pet station services are fully customizable. We help you choose the right number of stations and set a service schedule that fits your dog population and traffic patterns rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all plan. Even after the initial warranty period, we can continue to provide repair services to keep your investment looking good.

What Comes With A Pet Waste Station?

Every pet waste station we install includes four main components that work together to encourage consistent use and support apartment complex pet policy compliance and HOA common area management.

Waste bin: A durable, heavy-duty aluminum waste bin that uses a large plastic liner to contain dog waste and control odor.
Station post: A sturdy, two-piece, powder-coated, square post that supports the full station and keeps everything at an easy-to-reach height.
Bag dispenser: A convenient bag dispenser that holds either roll-style bags or header-style bags so dog owners always have supplies available.
Station sign: A clear, friendly station sign reminding neighbors to clean up after their dogs and reinforcing community cleanliness standards.

These stations can be installed virtually anywhere you need them: along dog walking routes, near shared green spaces, or in other high-traffic pet areas on residential and commercial property maintenance sites.

Smart Station Placement For Maximum Use

Good hardware is important, but where you place your stations is just as critical. As part of your free quote, we walk your property and, when helpful, review maps to understand dog walking routes and traffic patterns. This helps us recommend a station placement strategy that supports high use and low complaints.

We typically position stations near areas where residents walk, relax, and play with their dogs, without placing them too close to homes, playgrounds, benches, or building doors and windows where odor might bother people. High-traffic dog-walking routes, park entrances, and exits are often ideal spots, as they are natural points where people will see and use a station.

The number of stations your property needs depends on your layout, home or unit density, and where waste is currently piling up. When stations are strategically placed, responsible pet owners use them more consistently and set a visible example for other residents, which can ease property manager responsibilities around enforcement.

How Our Installation & Maintenance Process Works

We keep the process simple from the first call through long-term service, so you can check “dog waste” off your to-do list.

1. Free consultation and quote: We talk through your goals, walk the property, suggest station locations, and recommend how many stations and service visits you are likely to need.
2. Professional installation: Our trained technicians arrive in uniform and branded vehicles. We dig or drill a posthole approximately 18 inches deep, assemble and level the post, secure the base with cement, then install the station sign, bag dispenser, and waste bin.
3. Included maintenance: Stations installed by DoodyCalls® of Columbia come with one year of maintenance when you sign up for our pet station services, so you start with a clean, consistent program.
4. Ongoing pet station services: Routine maintenance includes refilling bags, emptying the waste bin, tightening hardware, lubricating components, making repairs, and cleaning up waste within a six-foot radius of each station.

We generally recommend that stations be maintained at least once a week, with service frequency adjusted based on your property’s usage and resident feedback. Regular scheduling, instead of reactive “emergency” visits when bins overflow, keeps everything looking tidy and helps maintain high compliance over time.

Pet Waste Station Installation FAQs

Where can pet waste stations be installed?

Pet waste stations can be installed virtually anywhere you need them, including homes, HOA communities, apartment complexes, dog parks, walking paths, and other shared green spaces. During your quote, we will point out the spots where stations are most likely to be used.

How many stations does my property need?

That depends on your property size, layout, and the number of dogs on-site. We look at where waste is currently a recurring problem, how far residents are likely to walk to reach a station, and key entrances and exits. Then we recommend a station count that balances convenience with budget.

Do I have to buy stations separately, or do you supply them?

We supply and install the pet waste stations for you as part of your program. You do not have to source hardware from a separate vendor or coordinate between multiple providers.

What is included in ongoing maintenance?

Our maintenance for each pet waste depot includes pet waste bag replacement, waste bin emptying, tightening hardware, lubricating components, making minor repairs, and cleaning up dog waste within about six feet of the station. The goal is for every station to look clean, stocked, and ready to use after each visit.

Is any maintenance included with installation?

Yes. When a station is installed by DoodyCalls® of Columbia and you sign up for our pet station services, you receive one year of maintenance as part of that program. After that, we can continue service on a schedule that fits your needs.

How do I get a quote?

Just reach out. We offer free service quotes and are happy to walk the property, answer questions from HOA boards and apartment managers, and build a plan that fits your community and budget.
