It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it — picking up dog waste, that is. Instead of dealing with plastic bags, dog owners now have a cleaner and greener alternative - a way to say NO to plastic bags. Introducing the Skooperbox.
Skooperboxes are small, pop-open boxes made from 100 percent recycled materials. Complete with lid and a scraper, each Skooperbox makes it quick and tidy to clean up Fido’s mess. The boxes are available in two sizes and are 100% biodegradable in less than a month.
A box of 30 costs about $12 & you may think that’s expensive, considering plastic bags are free. But consider this: Plastic bags are thought to take at least 1,000 years to degrade! Besides, plastic bags are being banned in some environmentally conscious cities across the US.
Skooperbox’s founders explain: “We at Skooperbox are ordinary pet owners who were dissatisfied with the choices available to us to clean our pet waste. We also knew plenty of good people who did not pick up because of lack of a good product. Picking up the warm squishy mess is gross enough, but when the bag breaks or if you find a hole in the bag while you’re picking up, it can really ruin your walk.”
You can say that again! California-based Skooperbox was founded in 2005 but spent more than a year perfecting its products, which are now available in retailers throughout North America as well as online.
