Franklin HOA dog stations: Cool Springs dues, appearance rules, and a quiet $15 line
Williamson County boards already spend real money on common-area appearance. Dog stations are part of that picture, not a side chore. Scooponomics prices the count at $15 per station per week so Franklin, Cool Springs, and Mack Hatcher-loop neighborhoods can put one estimate in the packet — labeled as an estimate, not a formal quote.
Two Franklins on one map
Historic downtown condos and carriage-house alleys need a small number of well-placed cans. Master-planned streets inside the Mack Hatcher loop need a trailhead can plus the mail kiosk, or residents bag nothing after the first empty roll. Cool Springs apartments add a third pattern: a fenced dog run that looks finished in the leasing brochure and still dumps waste onto the parking-lot island when the dispenser is empty.
Higher dues do not automatically mean the station map is done. Some of the cleanest lawns are the ones where the landscaper is quietly picking up what missed the can — hours that never show up as “HOA pet waste” on the budget. Type what you pay now if that landscaper line is already a number. Savings stay on the results cards after stations + spend.
Example neighborhood
140 homes
7 stations · close to 2 per 40
Weekly estimate
$105
$454.65 a month at $15 × 7 × 4.33
Seven stations on 140 homes is about 20 homes per can — near the starting rule. That is a reasonable Franklin-style density if the walking path is the second living room. Trail-heavy edges toward the Harpeth can still justify an eighth can at the cut-through. Load 140 homes / 7 stations and leave dogs blank if you want the 0.68-per-door start.
What to send from Franklin
Use the quote form city field (“Franklin” or “Cool Springs”). Notes that help a visit: gate, whether the dog run is resident-only, and whether the current vendor is weekly. Scooponomics does not offer a frequency picker. Weekly is the method. Copy the shareable URL so the treasurer and the architectural chair see the same stations, spend, homes, and dogs.
Cans that match the covenants
Appearance standards are why boards reject a bent steel post. The Scout Station on scoutstations.com is the rotomolded unit we point to; Amazon commercial posts sit on the shop row with tag scooponomics-20. As an Amazon Associate, Scooponomics earns from qualifying purchases. Plan 0.5–1 bag roll per station per week — Cool Springs dog-run cans are often the busy “1.”
Publish lb per home in the newsletter if the board wants one Index number. Use the HOA pet waste calculator guide when someone asks whether $15 is a bid (it is not).
