Germantown Municipal Code Sec. 5-8, Animal waste
It's actually the law here

Germantown is the only town here whose pet-waste code names your own yard

Collierville, Memphis and Shelby County all require prompt removal from property other than the owner’s. Germantown adds a standing duty about the condition of your own lot. A violation of the animal chapter is a misdemeanor, and Sec. 1-10 sets the penalty at a fine not exceeding $500.00 for each violation, with each day treated separately.

How Recurring Yard Service Works

  1. 1

    Send the form

    Address, dog count, and how often the yard needs service.

  2. 2

    Confirm the schedule

    A service day is set and the yard goes on a fixed rotation.

  3. 3

    Each visit

    The yard is walked end to end, waste is collected and bagged, and the gate is closed.

  4. 4

    Waste leaves the property

    Collected waste is hauled off with the trash — the Germantown code requires prompt removal, not relocation.

Questions

How much does a dog poop scooper cost?
Most Germantown homes with 1 dog on weekly service pay about $74–$87 per month, based on 3 published Memphis-area rate cards, Sept 2026. Most Germantown homes with 1 dog on twice-weekly service pay about $117–$121 per month, based on 2 published Memphis-area rate cards, Sept 2026. Combinations with fewer than two published rates behind them are shown as having no published rate. The cost guide lists every published figure with its source.
Are you legally required to pick up dog poo?
In Germantown, yes, and in two places. Municipal Code Sec. 5-8 requires immediate removal from public walks, recreation areas, streets and other people’s property, and separately states that residents shall regularly rid their own property of animal and pet waste. The ordinance guide compares that rule to Collierville, Memphis and Shelby County.
Is a pooper scooper service worth it?
The health argument is about timing rather than tidiness: the CDC advises picking up pet waste daily, and roundworm eggs need 2–4 weeks in the environment to become infective. The cost argument is the published range above. The frequency guide covers which schedule fits which yard.
Is there a way to pick up dog poop without touching it?
The AVMA’s published answer is a barrier rather than a product: use a scooper, plastic bag, or something else to cover your hand, and wash hands afterward. No federal agency ranks or tests scooping tools, so no tool is recommended here. The health guide quotes the agency guidance in full.
