BioDOGradable Dog Waste Bags


We are proud to announce that we have made the switch to Beyond Green BioDOGradable dog bags! These bags are 100% natural and chemical-free, non-PLA/non-PE compostable bags. In the fight against single-use plastic, it’s important to remember every step counts. On your next walk, find the bioDOGgradable dog bags at the designated stations throughout all of the parks. See all dog bag station maps below:

Life will be different here; life will be green here! Here at GPN we are working hard to become more sustainable for our residents, the community, and the future! With that, we are proud to announce The Compost Club! Interested residents can join an interactive, hands on initiative to combat food waste and climate change here in your local community.

Why compost? Households that compost their kitchen scraps on average reduce their footprint by 30%. Every year, U.S landfills and incinerators receive about 167 million tons of garbage. With 50% of that waste being compostable items! A common misconception is that food decomposes when it enters the landfill. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Instead, organic waste anaerobically decomposes inside of plastic trash bags releasing methane gas. The fight against climate change starts with small changes to your everyday life.

Join the Composting Club here at GPN and be a part of the change to combat greenhouse gases and slow the rate of maximizing landfill capacity.
