Can I throw my dog poo in your trash?

22:48 again.
Should have clarified, close-in suburbs, not NW. Trash can is our own, not city/county. Just thought I'd comment since it happened so recently with our trashcan, so this was timely. |

| OP, wow thanks for all the replies. You can see from the split comments here, how our house is so divided. |

Here's why not : the trash collectors in my neighborhood don't dump the can, the lift out the large bags. Anything loose or small stays in. So I have to fish it out and put it in a large bag.
In an ideal world, they would up-end the can in to the truck, but their jobs are hard enough as it is. So please don't. Take it home and put it in your own trash. Thanks. |

NO. WAY.
Dog owner here. It is the equivalent of saying F8ck you. DON'T do it. I will see you and if when I have to wash out my trash cans because of you, I will find a way to get back at you. You will not like it. |

I wouldn't want other people putting dog poo in my trash either, but I do have to wonder- how the heck are these people picking up their dog's poop that it gets all over your trash can? Are they just blindly smushing the poop into the bag and letting it go everywhere? That's majorly gross for both parties. |

| No. Not cool at all. If I can carry my dog's poop for 45 minutes, so can you. Or modify your route past a public trash can. Or ask your neighborhood to install trash cans and Baggie dispensers. There are many neighborly options to consider. Be courteous. |

| No. For some unkown reason our trash collectors reach in and pull out the large trash bags, they do not dump the can in the trash truck. I end up having to fish out the nasty bags of dog shit people leave in it. I don't carry my kids dirty diapers to your house and dump them in your can. Carrying around your dogs shit is part of being a dog owner. Take it with you. Not cool! |

| depends on the neighborhood. our g-collectors dump the trash cans and just don't lift out the bags. my trash contains small trash bags since I take out the trash everyday. |

Absolutely fine. If your neighbors get all hysterical about it, remind them that they likely prefer that you pick it up and put it in a bin rather than leave it on the sidewalk in front of their house.
(No, before you ask, I'm not carrying it miles back to my house. Dogs are a part of city life. Deal with it, haters.) PS. If you were really in NWDC, OP, you would know that there are plenty of public trash cans around if you'd prefer to carry the bag a block or so. |

I'm sure there is a can within a mile, I just haven't seen one. Not in Columbia Heights/U St NW but Colonial Villiage/Shepherd Park NW. Not as urban as one might think. Thanks. |

| No! The only thing worse are people who leave their bags of poop on the ground, tied up, but not in a trash can - as if there are little fairies who come around and throw that out for you. They deserve a special place in hell. |

| Yes, it is a trash can. |

| Only if it's okay that I use you and your dog for bb target practice. I am always amused at how anyone could think this is acceptable, under any circumstance. |

| I don't mind in my neighborhood. Our cans are only out for trash night and the can gets dumped by a machine so everything gets dumped in. |
