Parks and reserves in metropolitan areas with rivers and lakes nearby can often lead to an influx of geese and the unsightly problem of goose droppings on local walkways and fields.
It is a common problem in many parks around the world.
Not only are Goose faeces unsightly and unpleasant, but they are also packed full of nasty bacteria that can lead to serious illness in humans. Therefore, removing the goose poop is a health and safety precaution for your residents and visitors.
The Tow and Collect makes quick work of collecting goose poop from the grounds, it’s easy to operate and highly effective.
Over many years the Tow and Collect has been used to collect goose droppings from around parks, fields and lakes. We have supplied many of the machines into councils and organisations responsible for parks etc for the very purpose of picking up and cleaning up Goose Poop.
Goose droppings, poop, excrement, faeces, manure etc need not be the problem it can be. With the Tow and Collect these unsightly and unpleasant droppings are easy to pick up leaving the athletic fields, sports fields, parks and lakes clean and tidy and most importantly safe for people to enjoy every single day.
Goose droppings aren’t just unsightly—they’re a health hazard and a major maintenance headache. Whether you’re managing a public park, sports field, golf course, or lakeside property, geese leave behind large amounts of manure that quickly build up and degrade the space.
Goose poop is slippery underfoot, creating dangerous walking surfaces on grass, paths, and playing fields. For public spaces or schools, regular removal is essential to avoid accidents.
Geese can carry bacteria like E. coli and salmonella in their droppings, posing health risks for children, pets, and other park users. A buildup of droppings also brings strong, unpleasant odors.
Flocks of geese can deposit dozens of droppings per day—each. The result? Fields and parks can become unusable in just a few days without regular maintenance.
Cover large areas quickly. The Tow and Collect lifts droppings and debris from grass in a single pass, saving hours of manual labour.
Regular collection reduces bacteria exposure, slip hazards, and unpleasant smells—making parks, school grounds and lakesides more enjoyable for everyone.

The Tow and Collect is highly effective at picking up goose droppings from grass areas. It has been successfully used in parks, sports fields, and other public spaces to keep them clean from goose poop and safe for visitors. They use nylon brushes (which are easily replaceable) which counter-rotate from direction of travel throwing the debris and manure into the catcher/hopper. The machines work very well for grass grooming, they will pick up small debris like cigarette butts and litter, small sticks, bark and leaves.
Grass – The Tow and Collect was designed to be used on grass/pasture. Ideally, the length of grass for the machines to be most effective is no more than 4 inches in height for the Mini 700 and 1220 and 6 inches for the 1500 Pro/Pro E.
Wet – The machines will work in the wet, but we recommend letting the ground and droppings dry out to prevent smearing.
Sand – The Tow and Collect is a brush/sweeper system, so if using it on sand, the unit will also collect the sand. You may also have traction issues with the ground driven units and the sand will wear the brushes faster than grass due to the abrasive nature. For these reasons we do not recommend the machine for beaches or sandy areas.
Paved Areas, Paths & Asphalt – We do not recommend using the Tow and Collect on these surfaces. These areas are abrasive and wear brushes faster that grass. We also find the paths will require power washing as the manure will smear on the surfaces.
The machine can operate at speeds up to 8-12km/ph, depending on the towing vehicle and terrain. This allows you to cover large areas quickly and efficiently, reducing the time and labor required for cleanup.
To completely cover an acre, going at an average speed of 12km/ph, the 1500 Pro will take 18 minutes, the 1220 25 minutes and the 700 Mini 35 minutes. If you are just spot cleaning the areas this time will be faster.
