Menin introduces SCOOP Act dog waste legislation package
Menin introduces the SCOOP Act, a package of bills to expand access to dog waste bags, launch a composting pilot at dog runs, establish a public education campaign, and strengthen enforcement, noting over 2,000 dog waste complaints this year.

establishes a public education campaign, and it strengthens enforcement of these rules.
This is about creating a safer, cleaner environment in communities all across New York City.
