Man starts dog waste removal business in Baytown
John Phelps began a part time dog waste removal service after a chance encounter on a flight home from Germany. The Army veteran, who spent two years in Iraq, saw the idea from a fellow traveler and decided to turn it into a backyard cleanup service. He bought a pooper scooper, a rake, and veterinary sterilizers to start his new job clearing yards of waste.
