#Mutt mitt bags free
Using a Mutt Mitt to pick up and throw out dog waste is a free and easy way to keep our water clean. Once it’s there, it raises the bacteria levels in the bay, making it less safe for people and animals to enjoy. This is because-no matter where your dog goes-the bacteria from dog waste that’s left on the ground can wash into storm drains and creeks, and end up in the estuary anyway. They are indispensable whether you’re walking your dog at Coleman Beach, City Park, or further upstream.
Mutt Mitts are biodegradable bags that protect you from your dog’s doo while you protect the bay from the bacteria contained in it. Morro Bay National Estuary Program’s Assistant Director, Lexie Bell, and her dog BB visit the Mutt Mitts dispenser in Tidelands Park. You head over to a dispenser, grab a Mutt Mitt to do the job, and carry on with your day. Well, if you’re at one of over 20 locations in the Morro Bay watershed, you’re covered. You reach into your pocket…and come up empty. You’re ready to head home for your morning cup, but first things first. Spot trots and sniffs along happily, and then does her business right in the middle of your neighborhood park’s lawn. You throw on your jacket, secure her leash, and you’re off. The sun’s just coming up, and Spot’s already scratching at the door for a morning walk.
