One issue that chafes the community is dog poop. Bar Harbor constantly advertises as a dog friendly destination, yet while we provide dog poop bags we don’t provide a place to put poop. While it seems like an easy fix, it’s a more complicated issue. Dog poop is considered hazardous waste and the town is not equipped currently to handle it. It would be more expensive to remove, but if we derive increased income from the canine tourism market we should find a way to solve this issue.
