New dog cleanup service gets word of mouth

[Steve]

How does this new dog service get business? Word of mouth.

They also got an article written about them as well.

Have you been thinking about how you will get an article written about your company?

This business stinks (http://www.midweeknews.com/articles/2007/05/16/business/business01.txt) - “This is, obviously, a more word-of-mouth type of business, and we're trying to get the word out,” Anderson said.

Two local business owners are helping area residents get rid of any unwanted crap that they may have in their yard.

Holly Anderson and Tim Kenyon started Squatt and Leavitt Pet Waste Management in April. As part of the business, Anderson and Kenyon remove animal waste from their clients' property.

What I always wonder about dog clean up, is how can they legally dispose of the crap and where at?

Good point! Did you see this quote in the article

“In Sycamore, you can't transport it,” Kenyon said. “If we wanted to take it somewhere else, we would have to pay a $1,000 fee to transport hazardous waste.”

It's categorized as a hazardous waste too!

I guess that I didn't see that. I sometimes scan over things too quickly

It does make you wonder though, what do they do with the waste? Maybe they have to take it to a septic tank service?
