How K-9 Cleanup Unit Gives back to the community
Giving Back to the Community and the Pets We Love
At K-9 Cleanup Unit, keeping yards clean is only part of our mission. As a locally owned pet waste removal company, we believe in supporting the animals and community that make Lexington County such a special place to call home.
Supporting the Animal Protection League of SC
To help pets in need, K-9 Cleanup Unit donates 25% of proceeds from every new customer and 5% of proceeds from recurring service customers to the Animal Protection League of SC.
These donations help support shelter pets by contributing to the care, resources, and opportunities they need while waiting for loving families. Every cleanup appointment gives customers a way to support local animals simply by choosing a local service.
Introducing Crates of Love
K-9 Cleanup Unit also started Crates of Love, a project created to help long-term shelter pets find forever homes.
Some dogs spend months or even years waiting for someone to notice them. Crates of Love helps shine a light on these overlooked pets by sharing their stories and providing a crate filled with essential items to help them begin their new lives after adoption.
The goal is simple: help long-term shelter pets get noticed, connect them with potential adopters, and give them the support they need when they finally leave the shelter.
A Cleaner Yard Can Help Create a Brighter Future
When you hire K-9 Cleanup Unit, you are doing more than checking one chore off your list. You are supporting a local business that believes every pet deserves care, comfort, and a loving home.
Together, local customers can help provide meaningful support to shelters and bring more attention to the dogs waiting for their chance.

What to do when you have multiple dogs and a dirty yard
What to Do When You Have Multiple Dogs and a Dirty Yard
Having multiple dogs brings plenty of love, laughter, and outdoor fun—but it can also create a lot of waste. When cleanup falls behind, the yard can quickly become unpleasant, smelly, and difficult to enjoy.
Start with a One-Time Cleanup
If waste has built up, begin with a thorough one-time cleanup. Walk the entire yard and check common hiding spots, including along fences, under trees, behind sheds, and around play areas. Wear gloves, use sturdy bags, and keep waste away from children and pets during cleanup.
For a heavily soiled yard, professional help can save time and make the process easier. A complete cleanup provides a fresh starting point for regular maintenance.
Create a Regular Schedule
Multiple dogs usually require more frequent service than a single-dog household. Weekly cleanup may work for some families, while twice-weekly visits may be better for homes with several dogs, puppies, or a small yard.
A consistent schedule helps prevent odors, pest activity, lawn damage, and waste buildup. It also makes each visit faster and easier.
Keep Waste Out of the Yard
After scooping, seal the waste in a bag and remove it from the property. Leaving open bags or a waste pile near the yard can increase odors and attract flies. In South Carolina, heat and humidity can make those smells stronger and cause waste to break down more quickly.
Protect Your Lawn and Family
Dog waste can damage grass when it remains in the same areas for too long. It may also contain bacteria and parasites that can affect pets and people. Regular removal helps create a cleaner, healthier space for everyone.
Get Help When Cleanup Becomes Too Much
Managing a yard used by multiple dogs can feel like a never-ending chore. K-9 Cleanup Unit offers one-time, weekly, bi-weekly, and twice-weekly pet waste removal throughout Lexington County, SC.
A clean yard starts with a manageable plan—and the right cleanup schedule can help you enjoy your pets without constantly worrying about the mess.

Why Your Yard Smells Like Dog Poop
Why Does Your Yard Smell Like Dog Poop?
If your yard smells like dog poop, the most likely cause is waste buildup. Even a few overlooked piles can create a strong odor, especially in areas where your dog goes regularly.
South Carolina Heat and Humidity Make It Worse
In South Carolina, hot temperatures and high humidity can make pet waste break down faster. As waste decomposes, it releases stronger odors into the surrounding air. Humid conditions can also keep smells lingering longer instead of allowing them to fade quickly.
Rain may spread waste particles across the yard, while damp grass and soil can hold onto unpleasant smells. Waste hidden under leaves, near fences, or in shaded areas can also continue causing odors after the visible piles are gone.
How to Reduce the Smell
Regular removal is the best way to keep your yard smelling fresh. Consider these steps:
Scoop waste at least once a week
Schedule more frequent cleanups for multiple dogs
Check corners, flower beds, and shaded areas
Keep waste securely bagged and remove it from the property
Schedule a one-time cleanup if waste has built up
A clean yard is more comfortable for pets, family, and visitors—and it helps reduce flies and other pests.
K-9 Cleanup Unit provides weekly, bi-weekly, twice-weekly, and one-time pet waste removal throughout Lexington County, SC. With South Carolina heat and humidity, staying ahead of buildup can make a big difference in how your yard looks and smells.

How Much Time Does Cleaning Up Dog Poop Really take?
How Long Does Picking Up Dog Poop Really Take?
Picking up dog poop may seem like a quick chore, but the time adds up fast. A small yard with one dog might take 10–15 minutes when waste is removed regularly. Larger yards, multiple dogs, or missed cleanups can turn the job into a 30-minute task—or much longer. We’ve had yards were two people have spent over a hour.
The work includes walking the entire yard, checking corners and hidden areas, collecting waste, bagging it, and carrying it away. Wet grass, leaves, poor lighting, and built-up waste can make the process even slower.
Weekly cleanup is usually faster because waste does not have time to accumulate. Homes with multiple dogs may need weekly or twice-weekly service to keep the yard consistently clean. A neglected yard may require a more time-consuming one-time cleanup before regular service begins.
That time could be spent relaxing, playing with your pets, or enjoying your weekend. K-9 Cleanup Unit provides dependable weekly, bi-weekly, twice-weekly, and one-time pet waste removal throughout Lexington County, SC.

Rocky at American Protection Leauge SC | First Crate of Love Recepient.
Meet Rocky, Our First Crates of Love Dog
K-9 Cleanup Unit is proud to announce Rocky as the very first dog selected for our Crates of Love project.
Rocky entered the shelter on March 13, 2018, and has spent more than 3,000 days—over eight years—waiting for a family. Now 11 years old, Rocky is ready for a forever home, a loving family, and a comfortable couch to call his own.
His first Crate of Love includes nearly everything he needs to begin his new life. Now, all Rocky needs is someone to open their heart and give him the home he has been waiting for.
It’s time for Rocky to leave the shelter and start living the life he deserves.
We’re so pleased to be able to start this project and look forward to be able to help more dogs. This effort is on top of us donating to local animal shelters this one comes from the bottom of our hearts.
