Dog Waste Removal in Jackson, NJ

Jackson spreads across more than 100 square miles, which makes it one of the largest townships in the state and one of the most varied to service. The central neighborhoods off Bennetts Mills Road run to suburban half-acre lots; out toward Cassville and Prospertown the parcels open up to multi-acre and horse-farm properties; and the newer planned communities and 55+ developments add their own tidy streets. A dog on an acre in Jackson can stash a week of waste in the back tree line — which is exactly the part of the yard owners stop walking to.

This is the edge of the Pine Barrens, and it shows. Turkey Swamp Park, Prospertown Lake, Colliers Mills, and Patriots Park wrap the township in pitch pine and scrub oak, and that same wooded cover makes Jackson real tick country. Dog waste piled at a yard’s brushy edge holds moisture and draws the rodents that carry ticks, so routine pickup is part of keeping the perimeter from turning into habitat. Our crews walk the full used area on every visit, tree line included.

Jackson is also where the Toms River rises, with headwater streams and wetlands threading through the Pinelands toward Barnegat Bay — a watershed the Pinelands Commission and NJDEP watch closely. Pet waste left on the ground adds nitrogen and bacteria to a system that drains to one of the state’s most sensitive estuaries. Bagging it and hauling it offsite every week keeps it out of the groundwater and the river.
