Scooping in Portage
Dog waste removal in Portage.
Scoop N Piles cleans up dog waste for Portage homes once, twice or three times a week, or as a one-time cleanup. Portage is part of our Kalamazoo area, and our office sits right here on South Sprinkle Road.
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.
Friendly dogs may stay outside during a visit. If a dog is aggressive, or you aren't sure how it will react to a visitor, keep it inside until we've gone. List every part of the yard your dogs use, such as a front enclosure or a run beside the garage, so the first visit covers it all.

Parks and trails
Where Portage dogs play.
Parks, trails and dog parks in and around town, from the town's own pages.
Schrier Park
850 West Osterhout Avenue
The southern end of the South Central Greenway, with walking, nature and cross-country ski trails, a playground and a pavilion among apple trees.
The South Central Greenway
Five city places in one complex: Bishop's Bog Preserve, Eliason Nature Reserve, Schrier Park, South Westnedge Park and West Lake Nature Preserve. Check each one's posted rules before bringing a dog.
Local rules
Portage's pick-up rules.
In the parks: leash, bags and posted areas
According to the rules the city lists for Schrier Park, pets are allowed except in posted areas such as picnic areas, playgrounds and Ramona Park Beach, must be on a six-foot or retractable leash, and aren't allowed in buildings. The person in charge of a pet cleans up after it.
No city-wide pick-up section
Portage's Code of Ordinances has no general dog waste section. Its one pick-up rule covers pets in city cemeteries (Sec. 18-29), which must be on a six-foot or retractable leash, with the waste cleaned up. Picking up everywhere is still the neighborly thing to do.
Where the waste goes
Portage's storm water code (Chapter 64) lists animal wastes as a pollutant and bars discharging pollutants into the storm drain system. Rain carries what's left on a lawn toward the street, so a yard picked up regularly keeps dog waste out of the drains.

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!”
