Initial Cleanup Policy
Initial cleanups may be subject to a higher fee depending on the yard’s condition. Oop Scoop will inspect the property on the first visit and confirm the rate before starting service. Any extensive cleaning requirements will be communicated beforehand.
Weather Policy
Oop Scoop operates year-round, except in unsafe weather conditions. In such cases:
- We will perform double duty the following week and continue charging for the full month as waste still accumulates.
- Clients maintaining service throughout winter will not incur extra spring cleanup fees and will keep their rates.
- Unsafe weather conditions will be communicated via email, text, or phone notification.
Access Policy
Clients must ensure gate access is available on service days:
- If gates are locked, clients will be charged for the visit, and service will be rescheduled with a double duty on the next visit.
- Gate codes provided will be kept secure, and gates will be locked after service.
- Oop Scoop is not responsible for damage to gates or locks unless caused directly by negligence.
Pet Policy
Our technicians are comfortable working with pets. However:
- Aggressive pets must be kept restrained or indoors. If a technician cannot safely perform the service, the visit will be charged, and a double cleanup will be scheduled for the next service day.
- If a technician encounters a loose aggressive pet, they will immediately contact the client for resolution before proceeding with services.
