Pet Waste Recycling FAQ

What happens when I go on vacation?

Are you leaving for vacation? Let us know via email or by phone so we can plan our driver’s routes appropriately. Please be assured your information will not be shared with any third-party, but helps us efficiently serve those in need of our service. It is recommended that bins are emptied before you leave. We thank our members for their cooperation.

What are the weight restrictions for my bin?

Due to WCB (Workers Compensation Board) regulations, filled Pookt bins are not to exceed 35 lbs. Please ensure your bins are not filled to beyond the fill line, and do not go over weight limits. We ask members to increase their pickup schedules to accommodate these requirements if necessary.

Pookt Standards and Terms of Service

Due to health regulations we request members respect our terms. Pet waste MUST be placed into Pookt bins in plastic bags, and bins are to be kept under a covered area between pickups. Pet waste collection is a dirty job, but we are working towards a cleaner future. Members who do not adhere to these standards risk having their membership revoked ( a prorated refund will be issued).

What Happens If My Pookt Bin Gets Damaged?

Pookt members enjoy bin rentals that include regular maintenance and refreshing. If your bin is damaged beyond regular wear a replacement fee of $19.95 plus applicable taxes will be charged to offset our cost. In the event the damage is of no fault of your own Pookt will cover these charges within reason.

What is Pookt’s Cancellation Policy?

Is my Pookt bin waterproof?

Not exactly. Although the bins are sealed and secure they are susceptible to weather and ware. Please place your bin in a semi-covered area (below an overhang or eaves trough).

How can I get my membership for free?

Members that refer ten new people to our service receive their service FREE for one year.

Is my Pookt bin ‘critter-proof’?

Pookt bins are designed to keep odors in and critters out. The spring-loaded top could however trap small animals inside. If you are concerned about this we do offer a vermin-proof stainless steel bin at an additional charge.
