Scooping in Battle Creek
Dog waste removal in Battle Creek.
Scoop N Piles cleans up dog waste for Battle Creek homes once, twice or three times a week, or as a one-time cleanup. Battle Creek is the eastern end of our Kalamazoo area.
It's a little like coming home: Chuck Barnes was raised on a farm near Battle Creek, and he and Sue live next to the farm where he grew up. Our technician Chris grew up in Battle Creek, too. On every visit we text you when we're on the way, comb the whole yard, leave the waste sealed in a bag in your trash can and email you a photo of your closed gate. You don't need to be home, as long as any locked gate is open for us.
Battle Creek's yard waste season runs from April into December, and the city asks residents not to push leaves into the street. Dog waste doesn't belong in those paper yard waste bags: we seal it in a bag in your trash can.

Clean up on public or private property
Battle Creek's Codified Ordinances (Sec. 608.11(h)) require anyone owning or in charge of an animal to remove and dispose of its waste in a sanitary way, on public or private property. It's a Class C municipal civil infraction: $50, then $100, then $200 for repeats within a year.
An eight-foot leash
Off the owner's premises, an animal must be held on a leash no longer than eight feet (Sec. 608.11(a)). Dogs may visit public parks on an eight-foot leash and under control (Sec. 1060.05), but not the stadiums or the signed parts of Willard Beach Park.
Where the waste goes
Battle Creek sits at the confluence of the Kalamazoo and Battle Creek rivers, which both run through downtown. The city's Public Works newsletter explains that storm drains carry runoff, pet waste included, to a river, lake or wetland untreated, and asks residents to pick up after their pets with waste bags and put them in the trash.

Reviews
What Kalamazoo-area clients say.
Thank you for trusting us with your yard!
Mark D. “We are busy and frustrated with our office pet golden labs mess in our yard. Not being able to keep up. We looked at PooperTroopers for help. They came out and the piles were gone! Now they come once a week and we can concentrate on business. Thanks to Chuck and his crew.”
Lisa M. “Did such a great job with all my winter duties… I’m so glad I did not have to do it this year. I’m excited to have them back next week. And having more time for other projects.”
Joseph W. “I've had a great experience with this company!”
Heather “This was our first time using Pooper Trooper, not only was scheduling fast and easy, our tech Kyle did an amazing job! He was fast and quiet, he didn’t even set the dogs off!! Our dogs bark at the wind blowing, so that was a bonus! Thank you for your service! Our second week of services and Heather was fantastic!!! She wasn’t even bothered by our children playing in the yard and pestering her!”
Kathy H. “Heather did a fantastic job - super professional and cleaned up every speck!”

Jayme F. “Heather did an incredible job of getting up all of the dog poop from our yard (in the rain, so definitely extra credit there). We have a large dog and the after-winter clean-up is substantial. I cannot overstate the value of having Pooper Troopers come out and take care of it, as it is difficult to find time to get out and clear it all right now. Thank you for the excellent job, Heather!”
