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.
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.
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.
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.
The alternative is carrying around a warm poop bag in your coat pocket until you get home.
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.
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.
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.
sweet sweet suh-suh-suh-sweet can
Where is the poop supposed to go then?
In the old ladys trash can, some people just don’t want dog shit smeared in theirs.
And threatening to behead an old lady is totally an appropriate response.
Never said it was 🤷
It’s in a bag, though, right? I mean, if old lady is just naked hand fisting shit into the trash can there’s bigger problems to tackle there.
Even bagged the stench can be overpowering when opening the lid of the trashcan.
Oh no inconvenienced for a few seconds 3 times a week. The HORROR!
Bins smell and you should clean them once in a while regardless, so saying it smells is just an absolutely asinine excuse to be an asshole for no reason than being an unneighborly shit heel.
He sounds like a germapgobe that has never owned a dog.
Until someone throws it in your bin and it explodes or leaks and you now have to clean someone else’s shit.
Use your own bin.
I clean all of my bins every 2 months. You know, like you should to keep the smells down of your worried….
If I don’t want my bin used, I would put it somewhere it can’t be accessed, but I would much rather turds go in my bin than on my or others lawns.
Dont be an unneighborly shit heel, it’s a bag in a bin, that already stinks.
Hah! Got in your head so bad that you downvoted my entire history? Classic.
Luckily your comments are so downvoted that i don’t feel the need to add to the downvotes.
But officer, the trash… it was stinky!
I do think it’s rude to put dog bags in people’s private trash, but at least they picked it up. I dunno, I just pull my can off the street when it’s not trash day. But my can already smells like my own dog’s shit, so /shrug
Yeah, I mean if it’s in bag tied up tight, the stink barely escapes. Worst case ontario you made someone’s garbage smell more like garbage, and someone else doesn’t have to step in it. Shocker
I would just be grateful that it wasn’t being left on the ground.
I can tell the creator of this picture is a cat owner. As a dog owner, I just carry their shit home. But sometimes you just need to get rid of it.
Let’s take the most biodegradable substance on earth and wrap it in eternal plastic
Is anyone still using non-degrading bags? They’ve been around for a long time at this point.
Sounds like a terroristic threat to me.
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.
I always feel like a douche when I do this, but sometimes I’m in a bind. Soz bro.
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
Trash disposal isn’t free, yea the dog poop is probably a negligent amount, but most people have to explicitly pay for trash disposal, and so filling up other people’s trash cans can either cause an additional financial burden on them, or mean that they can’t effectively dispose of all of their trash.
It looks like in your case, each unit gets a can assigned to it, and service fees and replacements cost the individual directly, additionally, there are fines for trash violations, so having other people put unknown trash in your bins can result in a direct financial burden. I think it’s pretty reasonable to be relatively protective over your trash bin if you are the one that has to pay for service, replacements, and fees.
Trash pickup is paid for by regular local taxes in Naugatuck Connecticut. The town gives each household a trash bin and a recycling bin with instructions to fill them and leave them by the curb on a specific day. Nobody weighs them. The bins say ‘Borough of Naugatuck’ on them, because the town owns them, which makes them fair game.
My trash pickup is municipal. Even if it wasn’t I’d rather just take an extra kilo of trash than have it in the street.
I don’t know how trash disposal works wherever Naugatuck is, but it is usually a paid service. It makes no difference whatsoever which party owns the container serving that household.
It is not a paid service in Naugatuck. It’s a municipal service. That’s the case in most of Connecticut.
I generally don’t care but by god if you do this after it’s just been emptied i will fucking end you
Do it to my recycling bin and i come after your family too
sounds fair
Next time put it in top of the can.
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 🤷
If he asked nicely first, he’s not in the wrong. Post vids, sounds hilarious.
Even dog shit in a trash can is super polarizing. This was the first comment I saw even mentioning asking the person nicely to stop first. Like maybe put up a sign saying ‘No dog poop please’ before making a threat or a thing meant to bother the dog.
Oftentimes, these kinds of people don’t bother to check if the bins have already been picked up or not, so you get a bin that smells like dog shit for the next week.
Your friend sounds very creative, I’d personally go for gluing a piece of velcro to the inside lip of the handle with razor blades on it. Of course, I’m also not an engineer, just somebody whose grandfather was friends with the #2 Hell’s Angel for a state who would ask if he wanted him to “take care of” problems like that. The old razor blades and broken glass in the root ball trick worked wonders when somebody was repeatedly stealing the shrubs out of my grandfather’s pots.
razor blades
That’s just asking for a lawsuit in many states.
The dogwhistle… not so much.
… or a moltov
I surely don’t know what you mean. They’re to keep the raccoons out! That’s why they’re on a piece of velcro, so they’re removable!
Sarcasm aside, absolutely. Even if you wouldn’t get in trouble for people hurting themselves by going into your bins, you could probably get in trouble for messing with town property or something. It’s just the kind of thing I immediately think of after growing up with stories of “Let me take care of that for you” about a guy who’s probably doing 30 to life for prostitution and selling heroin/whatever else the Hell’s Angels get up to.
Ya. Also asking to hurt innocent people in somewhat unusual situations.
Neighbor noticed your can blew over or the garbage truck spilled some of your trash setting your can back down…
Maybe try asking them nicely first, or putting up a sign that doesn’t have a threat in it? Like, I get it, someone slighted you so you got to make them think twice before crossing you again, but going straight to building a trap with razor blades is a bit extreme and will probably land you before a judge.
I’d like to imagine that the old lady took this photo. Then she printed it out, wrapped it around a big ol stinky dog turd, and dropped it in the can.
Old Lady should turn that period into a comma next time she’s putting poop in the bin. Or maybe just put white-out on it.
