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.
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.
