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.
When my dog poops I don't put the poop bag in my pocket, I just carry it home. If there is a public trash can I will use it. Never in the pockets though. It is poop.
Trash collectors on my street don't empty the can into the truck, they just grab the bag I put in and throw that in. That dog shit bag would stay in my can until I moved it to the larger bag. I should not have to do that.
What kind of psycho puts the bag in their pocket? /s
With all the pointy bits and pieces in my coat pockets I'd end up with bits, pieces, and coat pocket covered in dog shit.
Cold weather. Dog that needs two hands on leash and no sidewalk so carrying a flashlight. Needs a dedicated pocket. Also, while these dog aliens have definitely enslaved us, I like the modicum of dignity provided by not visibly showcasing that I'm carrying a dangling bag of their poo I picked up.
Ah.
If it's the night before collection, no one would notice or care. People who do that are not the people anyone complains about.
What happens is people dump their plastic bag of dog poop in the empty can. So it stays there.
Next pickup the resident's trash bags go on top of it. The trash men never manage to get the poop bag out. After a couple weeks of hoping it will disappear next time, the person whose can it is has to dump it out and put it in a bag with their trash.
People who dump their dog's poop bag in other people's cans should be force fed the bag.
Actually dumb NIMBY-esque take. Surprised to see this on lemmy, but not that surprised. It's trash going in the trash dude. You're complaining about a problem with the trash can itself, and only if someone's dropping it in an empty container. And you really think you should be so territorial over your trash. Get real.
Why should I have to deal with someone else's dog poop? Just take it home and put it in your own trash.
I never used to understand the people that just left a poop bag alongside the road, but suddenly now I feel like I understand exactly what exchange led to that choice.
I don't. Just carry it home. Why are people so damn irresponsible?
If you don't want to carry the poop to your own trash, either don't have a dog, or let it shit in your yard.
Ehh, I'd prefer they bag it and put it in my trash bin, rather than just leaving a pile of shit in my yard. I'd honestly prefer neither, but using my bin to throw poop bags or even loose trash doesn't bother me too much
But my bin is also only on the curb when it's trash day. And they pick them up twice a week here, so a poop bag won't necessarily "marinate" in there for long. And I rinse the bin with a hose if it becomes gross, but that's rare because usually the rain will handle most of it
But that's just my particular situation, so it doesn't bother me as much. I could easily see how a multitude of different factors, might make the situation aggravating/infuriating
Never thought I'd feel lucky about my trash bin situation though. Sometimes it really is the little things I guess
Where I lived, all your trash needs to be in a trash bag. There isn't some big truck that drives around, picking up the whole trashcan and dumping it in the back. It's literally just a guy in a golf cart who takes everything out of the bin by hand and tosses it on a trailer. If it's not in a trash bag he won't take it. If the trash bag is broken he won't take it. So if some lazy shit head is too fucking delicate to carry their dog's shit long enough to dispose of it properly, and instead toss it into my bin, it stays there and becomes my problem.
Fuck you for owning a dog if you can't be bothered to clean up after it.
