Important Reminder: Pet Waste and Roaming Animals
Highspire Borough reminds all pet owners that responsible pet ownership includes properly disposing of animal waste and ensuring that pets remain under control.
Pet Waste: Failure to properly clean up and dispose of fecal matter is a violation of Section 10-508.G of the Highspire Borough Code. Pet owners are responsible for promptly removing and properly disposing of their animals’ waste to help maintain a clean, safe, and sanitary environment for all residents.
Roaming Cats and Other Domestic Animals: Under Section 2-105 of the Highspire Borough Code, the roaming at large of domesticated animals and household pets is prohibited. This requirement applies to cats as well as dogs and other household pets. Animals must be confined to the dwelling or property owned or occupied by their owner, or otherwise remain under the owner’s direct supervision and control at all times.
Residents are asked to do their part by keeping pets properly contained, cleaning up after their animals, and respecting the rights and property of their neighbors. Compliance with these ordinances helps preserve the cleanliness, safety, and quality of life of our community.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping Highspire Borough a clean and pleasant place to live.
