Fast Scoop FAQs
How much does pet waste removal cost in Bloomington, Indiana?
Pricing depends on your yard size, number of pets, and how often you’d like service. Most Bloomington homeowners pay between $15 and $25 per weekly visit, and one-time cleanups start around $40–$60. Fast Scoop provides clear, upfront pricing and free quotes, so you always know what to expect before we arrive.
Do I need to be home when Fast Scoop comes to clean my yard?
No — you don’t need to be home during service. As a mobile pet waste removal company, we just need safe access to your yard. Our team works efficiently, cleans thoroughly, and leaves your property spotless. You’ll get notified once your service is complete
What areas around Bloomington do you service?
Fast Scoop proudly serves Bloomington and nearby communities including Ellettsville, Smithville, and Monroe County. If you’re unsure whether you’re in our service area, just contact us — we’re expanding and often take on new neighborhoods throughout South Central Indiana.
How often should my yard be cleaned for the best results?
For most pet owners, a weekly cleanup keeps your yard clean, odor-free, and safe. Homes with multiple dogs may prefer twice-a-week visits to prevent buildup. Regular service not only keeps your lawn looking great but also reduces bacteria and odor before they become noticeable.
Does Fast Scoop sanitize or deodorize after cleaning?
Yes. We use an eco-friendly, pet-safe sanitizing solution that eliminates bacteria and neutralizes odors without harming grass or plants. This optional add-on is perfect for yards used by kids, pets, or guests — and helps your property smell fresh year-round.
Can I schedule a one-time cleanup before an event or move-out?
Absolutely. One-time cleanups are one of our most popular services in Bloomington. Whether you’re hosting a barbecue, moving out, or preparing for a yard project, we’ll handle the dirty work so your outdoor space looks clean and welcoming.
What makes Fast Scoop different from other local companies?
Fast Scoop is a locally owned and operated Bloomington business — not a franchise. We’re proud to serve our neighbors with reliable scheduling, affordable pricing, and attention to detail. Our mission is simple: to keep Bloomington’s outdoor spaces clean, safe, and ready to enjoy.
How do I sign up for service or get a quote?
You can request a free quote online through our website or by calling us directly. Just let us know your location, number of pets, and how often you’d like cleanup. We’ll provide a fast, no-obligation estimate and can usually schedule your first visit within 24–48 hours.
What happens during bad weather or snow?
Safety always comes first. In light rain or mild snow, we continue service as scheduled. For heavy snow or severe storms, we’ll pause and reschedule your visit for the next clear day. You’ll always be notified if your appointment changes.
Is pet waste removal really worth it financially?
Yes! Most homeowners say it saves both time and lawn repair costs. Dog waste damages grass, attracts pests, and spreads bacteria. By outsourcing to Fast Scoop, you protect your lawn, your pets, and your schedule — all for less than the cost of a weekly takeout meal.
Do you remove waste from apartment complexes or commercial properties?
Yes. Fast Scoop provides pet waste removal for apartments, HOAs, and commercial spaces across Bloomington and Monroe County. Whether you manage a dog park, multi-unit property, or community common area, we’ll create a custom plan to keep your outdoor spaces clean, safe, and welcoming for residents and guests.
What happens if my dog is outside during service?
For everyone’s safety, we ask that pets be kept indoors or in a separate area during cleanup. Our team loves dogs, but it’s best for your pet and our technicians to avoid contact during service. Once we finish, you’ll receive a quick notification that your yard is ready to enjoy again.
Can I combine pet waste removal with yard sanitization?
Absolutely. Many Bloomington homeowners schedule both services together for the cleanest, healthiest results. Our sanitizing treatment kills bacteria and neutralizes odors immediately after waste removal, keeping your yard fresh, safe, and pet-friendly — all in one visit.
