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.

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.
