Ville de Saint-Lazare would like to mention to its residents that Westwood Jr. High School students will be going door to door to sell biodegradable dog poop bags. It costs $5 for a package of 100 bags. The bags, which are made in Canada, are easy to carry in a pocket during a walk, and are dark green so they hide the dog waste while you walk. Best of all, the bags and dog waste naturally break down in a landfill in about six weeks once they are exposed to the elements, which is unlike plastic grocery or other bags that can take 20 years to decompose! Proceeds from the fundraiser will help the students pay for educational trips to Washington D.C and Niagara Falls.

To order bags from students please call 450-455-6989, or support the children when they come to your door.
