Dog owners have been put on notice over the “ongoing misuse” of dog waste dispensers which left a popular New South Wales beach trashed.

Bega Valley Shire Council posted a photo to Facebook showing scores of ‘dog poo’ bags littering Merimbula’s Main Beach, about 525km south of Sydney.

In its post this week, the council told residents it was removing dog waste bag dispensers along Ocean Drive to combat the issue.

“We need your help to tackle this issue! Remember, a proper pooch outing means packing your own dog waste bags and disposing of them responsibly in a bin,” the council wrote.

“With summer around the corner, let’s work together to keep Merimbula beautiful for all.

“Note: all bags pictured were found on one day, having been discarded in the dunes within 50 metres.”

The council urged residents to take their own dog bags in the future and to dispose of them correctly.

In a comment on the council post, the Far South Coast Landcare Association said the pictured bags were gathered in the sand dunes while members were removing invasive weeds last month.
