In a joint program with the James Island Public Service District, the Town of Jam
es Island has installed pet waste stations in several James Island neighborhoods. These stations have pet waste bag dispensers and a JIPSD garbage can, which is emptied each week on the regular garbage collection route. The program was started early in 2020 and in the first year an estimated 4 tons of pet waste was properly disposed of and did not get into our drainage systems and waterways.
