Alpo Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 You are out walking your dog. He deposits a large puppy present in someone's yard. You, being a conscientious dog owner, pick it up. Do you take it with you all the way back home and put it in your trash can? Do you put it in the first trash can you come to sitting at the street? If, on the evening of garbage day, you came home and were going to take your can back up to the house, and noticed that someone had put a plastic bag of dog poop in it, would you just take it back on up to the house or would you dump the plastic bag out into the street? (That happened to me one time. The can was at the street, and I tossed the bag into it. The next day while passing that house I saw the bag of dog poop lying in the gutter. The homeowner had apparently decided he did not want dog poop in his trash can.) And last but not least, do you suppose there is any nutrition in dog poop? It looked one time as if she was going to deliver her present to the top of a fire ant mound (she changed her mind and walked a few more steps over). Made me wonder if the ants would tear it apart and take it down and store it with the winter food, or if they would pack up and move the ant hill. Me, I toss it in the first can I come to. But I watched a young lady clean up after her dog, and she walked past four trash cans before she was out of sight, so I presume she took it home.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Nutrition for ants and nutrition for humans may not be the same. Just a guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If my dog poops I clean it up and I take it home and throw it away. Other people don’t need my dog’s crap in their trash cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Around here they have designated poop cans with a bag dispenser. But it’s a luxury apartment complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 You mean you dont take it home and smash it between the pages of your Doggie Scrapbook of Memories??? It comes home with me and gets thrown in my own cans, unless I am somewhere with dedicated doggie land mine disposal cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 99+% of the time - my own can. However, on trash day (like today), they had already picked up my trash can while I was walking the dogs so I dropped it in my neighbor's can across the street before they picked it up.

Cat Brules Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 It’s good that people pick up after their animals. You do know that stuff stinks, right, Alpo? I wouldn’t like to flip open my garbage can and smell that stuff. What if the bag splits open when you toss it into the other guy’s garbage can? It really stinks! I don’t like it when other people throw anything into my garbage can. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I usually stop at the first house I come to, set the bag on the porch, light it, ring the doorbell, and run! * Courtesy of Billy Madison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 My own can, unless the park provides a can. Same for bags, unless provided. Even then, usually easier to just use my own bag. but some parks and hotels do try to remove every possible excuse. And FYI before jamming anyone up for not self-bagging... Handlers of service dogs are not required to clean up in many jurisdictions. And honestly, do you really want a blind guy feeling around to try and find the offering? Or anyone else with a legitimate service dog? Having handled dogs for decades, I do not dump in anyone else's trashcan. It will be in my own or a "public" one designated for that purpose. I'll give @Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L a pass for the specific situation, but it does leave a stink behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozark Okie Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 A timely topic for me. In the past few days, I have encountered - 1) a large deposit in the middle of my front yard...although most people are good about picking up, some still do not.....very inconsiderate! 2) bringing in my garbage can after pickup, I find a smushed plastic bag of poop stuck on and left in the bottom of the can. The problem is that the pickup guys often grab the bag of garbage in the can instead of manhandling the entire can up into the back of the truck....and the loose bag of poop is left in the bottom of the can for me to deal with. People should take it to their own garbage. I no longer have a dog, but have had for many years (Brittany Spaniels) - always considered it my responsibility to clean up after them in residential areas.

Cat Brules Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Yeah, Okie, most people do take responsibility to police up after their dog. years ago there was a family up the street from me who would let their dog out the front door to do his business. He picked my front yard I guess because it was immaculately kept up. One day I scooped up The poo in a shovel and walked up the street and knocked on their doo. The husband answered and I dumped the poop on his doormat. He flipped out, engaging me in a heated arguement, while keeping an eye on the shovel. His wife quickly shooed him into the house, and out came the dog, who recognized me as a friend and was sniffing my pockets for doggie treats. The lady started laughing. I just told her to forget it and went back home, realizing it was a small price to pay for having the dog come around to see me. But you’re right. It’s best to pick it up in a bag, then open a garbage bag from the can and put it in there. Then, reseal the garbage bag, so the doggie poop doesn’t get left behind on pick-up day.

twelve mile REB Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 As I have never felt the need to savor the odor emanating from any container of garbage, it may remain as odious as possible without my displeasure. Therefore I would rather find doggie do in the container rather than doggie do on my shoe and would rather have the soft drink cup in the container rather than my driveway or yard.
