Responsible Levi – Clean Up After Your Dog
Please follow the obligation in maintained urban areas, such as Levi's ski trails.
Remember to Pick Up After Your Dog – Concerns About Cleanliness at Immeljärvi
The municipality of Kittilä has received multiple reports regarding dog waste left in popular outdoor areas, especially on the ice of Immeljärvi. According to public order laws, dog owners or handlers must ensure that their pet’s waste is not left in maintained urban areas. While this rule primarily applies to urban zones, good etiquette should also be followed in natural areas by properly disposing of dog waste.
To make disposal easier, trash bins have now been placed at both ends of Immeljärvi. In the north, the bin is located at the intersection of the ski trail and pedestrian walkway, while in the south, the bin is tucked away in the forest (winter use only).
A clean environment benefits everyone! Dog waste is not just an eyesore—it also contributes to water eutrophication when left on the ice and can spread diseases. Always carry waste bags with you and help keep nature clean.
