Idk I'd rather a passerby toss their poop or other trash in my can rather than throw it on the ground. Hell if you're really desperate and can't afford trash service I'd even tolerate a bag. But don't be filling up my can.
I used to like in a neighborhood where one lady would randomly throw her trash bags in someone's yard or behind my fence. City wouldn't do shit about her. I didn't like any of it and never did figure out where she lived but I was at that point of just telling her to put it in the fucking can because at least I wouldn't have to pick it up after the raccoons got into it and scattered it in the grass behind the fence.
Must be a posh nimby, don't know why anyone would willing carry dogshit around with them, especially if there's no public bins available, just don't use the same one every time.
If someone did this in my neighborhood, every single dog walker in the area would go out of their way to deposit 100% of their poop babies (autocorrect but I'm leaving it) in this trash can only. If I was still in Texas, we'd open carry while doing it!
Seriously people. No one should tolerate elder abuse.
Am I the only person that makes my dog carry her own poop bag? I just double knot it and attach it to where the leash attaches on her harness. All these people talking about putting bags in their coats or carrying them...I don't get it.
Speaking as someone with no skin in the game (I have no pets and I've never had weeks old bags of dog poop in my bin), does any dog poop keep the racoons away from your bins?
I also don't have racoons getting into my trash (I do not overfill my trash bin and it is always left closed) but I do see their little paw prints appear on my trash can sometimes.
My friend (who's an engineer) is so fed up with a neighbor doing this he's building an electric dog whistle that'll automatically go off. Seems a bit petty to me but 🤷
Assuming it's sealed in a plastic bag and the night before collection, who cares? The alternative is carrying around a warm poop bag in your coat pocket until you get home. Seems completely reasonable to take care of it this way on trash night.
If it's not meeting those above two criteria, then hell yeah, it's time for a new hood ornament.
I had some Karen type yell at me for doing this. So I pointed at the side of the can, which did not in fact say her name, but instead said Borough of Naugatuck, and reminded her that as a resident of Naugatuck I had as much of a right to its garbage bins as she did.
People downvoting this probably also get pissy if you park in the street in front of their house. ITS EVERYBODY'S STREET YOU SCHMUCK
