How does your pooper scooper service work?

It's simple! Sign up online, choose your service frequency, and we'll handle the rest. Our technician arrives on your scheduled day, thoroughly cleans your entire yard, sanitizes their equipment, and texts you when complete. You don't even need to be home!

What areas do you service?

We proudly serve Orange, Ulster & Pike County and more! This includes Middletown, Newburgh, Goshen, Monroe, Warwick, and all surrounding areas. Not sure if we service your area? Enter your zip code in our quote calculator!

Do I need to be home for my cleanup?

Nope! Most customers aren't home during service. We text when we're on the way and send a completion photo. As long as we can access your yard, we're good to go. Your dogs can even stay outside - we love making new furry friends!

What if I want to cancel or pause service?

No problem! There are NO contracts. Skip a week, pause for vacation, or cancel anytime with no fees or hassle. We believe in earning your business every visit, not locking you in. That's the Clean Paws difference.

How do you ensure safety for my dogs?

Safety is our priority. All technicians pass background checks. We use kennel-grade disinfectant on our equipment after every yard. We always secure gates behind us. And we're trained to work around pets - your dogs are in good hands!

Do you clean in winter and bad weather?

Absolutely! We're out there rain, snow, or shine. In fact, winter cleanups are crucial - waste accumulates under snow and becomes a nasty mess in spring. Only severe storms (blizzards, ice) will delay service, and we'll reschedule promptly.

Why should I pay for pooper scooper service?

Great question! Dog waste carries 23 million bacteria per gram - it's a health hazard. It kills grass, smells terrible, and attracts pests. Most customers tell us they save 2-3 hours weekly and wish they'd started sooner. Try us risk-free with a FREE first cleanup!

What's your satisfaction guarantee?

Simple: if you're not happy, we'll make it right. Missed a spot? We'll come back same day. Not satisfied? We'll fix it or refund your service. That's the Clean Paws promise - and why we have a 4.9-star Google rating.

How often should I hire a pooper scooper?

For most homes with dogs, weekly pooper scooper service is ideal. It prevents waste buildup and keeps your yard clean and odor-free. Homes with 3+ dogs benefit from twice-weekly pooper scooper visits. Single-dog households with small breeds may do well with bi-weekly service. A single dog produces about 275 pounds of waste per year, so regular pooper scooper service makes a big difference.

Is a pooper scooper service worth it?

Absolutely! A professional pooper scooper service saves you 2-3 hours per week and protects your family from the 23 million bacteria per gram found in dog waste, including E. coli, roundworms, and giardia. It also prevents lawn damage, keeps pests away, and protects local waterways. Most customers say they wish they'd hired a pooper scooper sooner.

Why is dog poop bad for my lawn?

Despite what many people think, dog poop is NOT a fertilizer. Its high nitrogen and phosphorus content actually burns grass, leaving brown spots and dead patches. It also contaminates the soil with harmful bacteria and parasites that persist for years. Regular pooper scooper service from Clean Paws keeps your lawn green, healthy, and safe for your family to enjoy.

How often should I schedule pet waste removal?

For most Cornwall households with dogs, we recommend weekly service to keep your yard consistently clean and odor-free. Homes with multiple dogs may benefit from twice-weekly service, while single-pet homes with smaller dogs might do well with bi-weekly visits.

Is Clean Paws licensed and insured in New York?

Yes! Clean Paws is fully licensed and insured to operate in New York. We carry comprehensive liability insurance to protect your property and give you peace of mind.

Do you clean yards in Cornwall during winter and bad weather?

Yes! We service Cornwall year-round, rain, snow, or shine. Winter cleanups are especially important because waste accumulates under snow and becomes a major problem in spring. Only severe storms like blizzards or ice will delay service, and we reschedule promptly.

Is dog poop harmful to my yard and family in Cornwall?

Yes, dog waste is a genuine health hazard. It carries 23 million bacteria per gram including E. coli, salmonella, and parasites like roundworm.

Year-Round Service

Pet Waste Removal in Cornwall — Every Season

Orange County sits in the Mid-Hudson Valley with a moderate continental climate. Summers are warm and humid with occasional thunderstorms, while winters bring reliable snowfall from both nor'easters and lake-effect systems. The region's clay-heavy soils hold moisture during spring thaw, creating extended muddy conditions that make pet waste management especially important from March through May.

46-50 inches

Annual Rainfall

32-40 inches

Annual Snowfall

Mid-March through mid-April

Peak Mud Season

Spring

Orange County's March thaw reveals months of accumulated pet waste hidden beneath 32-40 inches of winter snow. Spring cleanup is critical as melting snow saturates yards and creates muddy conditions that spread bacteria into homes.

Summer

With average highs reaching the upper 80s and humidity climbing through July and August, pet waste in Orange County decomposes rapidly and attracts flies within hours. Weekly removal prevents odor buildup and reduces fly-breeding habitat across your yard.

Fall

Falling leaves from Orange County's hardwood forests blanket yards from October through November, hiding pet waste and making cleanup difficult. Scheduling service before the first snow ensures your lawn enters winter waste-free.

Winter

Orange County receives 32-40 inches of snow annually, burying pet waste under layers that accumulate all season. Regular winter removal prevents a massive spring thaw surprise and keeps walkways and play areas safer for families.

“We live near the waterfront in Newburgh and our backyard is where the kids play every afternoon. With two big goldens, it was getting impossible to keep up. Clean Paws comes every week and now the yard is always spotless for family time.”

Mike R.

Newburgh, NY

“After a long winter near Fancher-Davidge Park, the spring thaw revealed months of mess from our three dogs. Clean Paws did a one-time deep cleanup and it looked brand new. Scheduling was easy and the crew was thorough.”

Priya K.

Middletown, NY

“I have a bad back and bending over to clean up after my lab on our half-acre lot in Goshen was killing me. Switching to bi-weekly service was the best decision. I can actually enjoy sitting on my patio again without worrying.”
