Colorado based Pet Pick-Ups is proud to see our products in use across the country. Municipalities and Home Owners Associations that have installed Pet Pick-Ups dispenser systems report a decrease in public complaints and an increasing awareness among their population of pet owners as to the responsibility of picking up after their dogs. Pet Pick-Ups is a member of Co-op America Business Network and is listed in the association's National Green Pages Directory. To maintain a standing in the network a company must demonstrate that it treats its customers, employees and the earth in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Furthering our commitment to green solutions, we have expanded our product line to more fully meet the expanding needs of municipalities. We now feature mitts in 3 different environmentally friendly formulations: reprocessed industrial plastic with a biodegrading additive, a proprietary blend of polyethylene, limestone, and PDQ, an ox-degradable additive that enables polyethylene to be digested by environmental bacteria in the presence of sunlight and heat, and our latest compostable formulation, made from a biopolymer created from corn and potato starches, this mitt will naturally biodegrade and meets all ASTM D6400 composting standards. In 2010, Pet Pick-Ups partnered with Smithsonian Award Winning Designer Michael McCoy to create our Modern Dog Disposal System, the perfect compliment to our widely popular Nature Dog Disposal System. The Modern Dog is designed for use in contemporary public spaces where maintaining a streamlined aesthetic is a must. In keeping with our commitment to animals, their owners and the community, Pet Pick-Ups makes contributions to animal welfare organizations that provide food, shelter and medical care for animals in need. Pet Pick-Ups encourages people to be considerate of others and the environment. It is the responsible thing to doo.
