Evanston, IL
Evanston enforces pet waste pickup under City Code 9-4-12. North Shore Scoop brings professional yard cleanup to every corner of town: weekly dog waste removal, lakefront goose cleanup, and eco-friendly deodorizing for Evanston homeowners and renters.
Local & Reliable
Evanston's mix of multi-unit housing and single-family lots creates a specific pattern of complaint traffic. Three-flat backyards, shared alleys, and rental turnover concentrate the problem in ways a typical suburban subdivision does not. The community is one of the most dog-dense in the Chicago metro, which only compounds it.
Evanston enforces pet waste pickup under City Code 9-4-12, which requires immediate disposal on any property other than the owner's own. Enforcement historically comes through Animal Control rather than Code Enforcement, which means repeat complaints from a neighbor tend to move faster than a drive-by citation. Illinois has no statewide pet waste ordinance, so the rules change the moment you cross a village line. Fines across Chicago-area suburbs typically fall in the $50 to $750 range.
We service yards, backyards, and small outdoor areas throughout Evanston on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Single-family owners, renters, and multi-unit property owners all work with us. If you have a yard and a dog, we have a plan that fits.
Evanston's lakefront and parks also draw Canada geese in force. Lighthouse Beach, Clark Square, and the lakefront greenways see significant goose activity each spring and fall. We cover goose waste removal for residential yards and commercial properties near those areas.
