Castletown commissioners are making a heartfelt appeal to the ancient capital's dog owners: please clean up after your pets. The local authority recently took to social media to remind visitors and residents that responsible pet ownership helps everyone enjoy the town more.

Keeping Castletown Clean for Visitors

The Castletown commissioners have highlighted that they've invested in making cleanup as convenient as possible for dog owners. Bag dispensers have been strategically placed around town so that forgetful owners have no excuse—the supplies are there and ready to use. It's a simple gesture that makes a real difference to the visitor experience and the town's overall appearance.

This plea comes at a time when more visitors are exploring the Isle of Man's charming historic towns. Castletown, as the island's ancient capital, deserves to be seen at its best. When dog owners take responsibility for their pets' mess, it helps preserve the town's character and ensures everyone—whether walking, cycling, or simply enjoying the streets—can do so comfortably.

How You Can Help

• Use the provided bag dispensers located throughout Castletown
• Bring your own bags if you prefer
• Dispose of waste responsibly in designated bins
• Encourage other dog owners to do the same

If you're planning to visit Castletown, or if you're a local dog owner, remember: keeping our towns clean is a shared responsibility that benefits everyone.
