1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: I stopped Maya and her dog Bella while on their

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: walk here at Bellevue Pond. She was just about to

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: make a pit stop because of what she's carrying, a

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: bag of I'm assuming your dog's waist, yeah, and where

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: are you taking it right now?

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 2: I'm taking it to the bean over there.

7
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: That bin over there is a pet waist station installed

8
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: back in July thanks to DCR and Friends of the Fells,

9
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: and since then it's done wonders to reduce the number

10
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: of stinky bags left on trails.

11
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, definitely the decrease. Yeah, you can hardly see

12
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: any bags anymore.

13
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Do you hope that they install more of these?

14
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely that would be helpful because the bean is

15
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: quite full now. I think it proves it's health. Yeah.

16
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: In addition to the waste station here and at Greenwood

17
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: Park in Stoneham, an awareness campaign has been launched to

18
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: hermind folks to leash their dogs and pick up after
