A yard sign for dispensing plastic bags for use in collecting domestic pet waste for later disposal includes a display panel attachable to the ground and a supply of waste bags dispensed from the rear of the sign through a slot. The display panel preferably has a contour that depicts a familiar object such as a dog or other animal. A dispensing slot or opening is preferably positioned at the location of the animal's mouth. Waste bags are stored on a continuous perforated roll on the back of the sign. In one embodiment of the invention, bag storage and dispensing is accomplished by the use of a hanger assembly including a mounting bracket and a U-shaped rod with one arm of the rod serving as a holder for a roll of bags. In another embodiment, bags are held and dispensed by a strap retained by snap fasteners on the back of the sign. In use, the sign is placed in a yard in an area convenient to a pet owner walking his or her pet to facilitate the pet owner's ability to dispose of pet waste. The present invention encourages responsibility on the part of pet owners when in public or common areas.
