Who cares, it's all going to the same place. You parted with your trash, it's not like it's a storage bin for you to get stuff out of later.

As someone whose bin receives unwanted poop, the issue is that it goes straight to the bottom of the bin and never leaves because they don't lift the cans up all the way. Then it gets smashed by my own trash, so now I have a permanently poopy-smelling trash bin that receives weekly deposits.
my dad found that putting a big, heavy rock on top of the bin was enough to stop this from happening to him. (he removes the rock before the crash gets collected.) from his perspective, the people who use other people’s trash cans to throw away their dog poop are doing it because it’s the most immediate and convenient option. if you find a way to make it slightly less convenient, they’ll look for something else.
A bad smelling trash bin you say?
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.
I always feel like a douche when I do this, but sometimes I'm in a bind. Soz bro.
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.
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
Where is the poop supposed to go then?
