How Often Should You Scoop? Weekly vs. Bi-Weekly in Ohio Weather

One of the most common questions we get at Rovers Rocky Mountain Removers is: how often does my yard actually need to be scooped? The answer depends on a few factors including the number of dogs you have, the size of your yard, and Ohio's seasonal weather patterns.

For most single-dog households, weekly service is ideal. This keeps waste from accumulating long enough to cause serious grass damage or odor problems. In the warm months of spring, summer, and early fall in Celina, Ohio, waste breaks down relatively quickly but bacteria and parasites remain active even as waste decomposes.

Bi-weekly service can work for households with small dogs or very large yards, but it is not recommended during summer heat waves. High temperatures accelerate bacterial growth and flies become a major issue when waste sits for more than five to seven days.

Two-dog households almost always benefit from weekly service. Three or more dogs? We recommend twice-weekly visits to keep up with the volume. Rovers Rocky Mountain Removers will work with you to find the right schedule. Give us a call at (419) 733-8128 and we will recommend the best plan for your family and yard.
