About Us

Hi, I'm Blake—the guy behind Payload Pickup.

I started this business in 2024 because I love dogs, but we all can agree that cleaning up after them is one of the few downsides to having a dog. Whether you're working long hours, dealing with a bad back, or just sick of the smell, we've got you covered.

We're a local Shepparton team focused on one thing: keeping your yard clean, safe, and poo-free. No fuss, no corporate nonsense—just reliable service and a cleaner yard.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Proper Dog Waste Removal Matters

Dog waste isn't just gross—it's a health and environmental hazard.

The Facts:

  • 1 gram of dog poo contains 23 million fecal bacteria

  • It can carry E. coli, Salmonella, Giardia, roundworms, and hookworms

  • When left in yards, rain washes it into stormwater drains, contaminating rivers and beaches

What We Do: We remove the waste from your yard and dispose of it properly through council dog waste bins. This keeps it out of stormwater systems, away from your kids and pets, and off your to-do list.

Why Not Composting?
Dog poo can't be safely composted in the traditional way (it's carnivore waste, full of pathogens). Proper disposal through designated waste bins is the most responsible option—and that's exactly what we do. (Our long-term goal is to compost the poo for forestation)

"Proper disposal keeps dog waste out of our rivers, parks, and backyards. It's a small action that makes a big difference for Shepparton."

“11 Landmines were removed from our backyard, some of which were hidden in the tall grass.”

“Payload Pickup removed all of our hidden surprises without a single one left behind. Now my husband and I no longer argue about whose turn it is to clean up after Marley.”
