[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I put my own dog's poop bags in our own trash. First of all, it stinks. Secondly, the trash guys are sloppy and the poop bag occasionally winds up in the street in front of my house. Other times, the poop bag remains in the bottom of the trash can because they didn't shake it out. I'm pretty sure my neighbors would be upset if that happened to them and they didn't even own a dog.[/quote]My trash guys won't empty the whole can into the truck.  They pull out the bagged garbage rather than pick up the can so the poop bag stays in the can forever and eventually breaks and the poop gets mixed with rain. It wouldn't bother me if the trash guys emptied the entire can into the truck but that doesn't happen.[/quote]Pp again - I should add that it just annoys me when people put poop in my can but I don't get white hot angry about it -- which it seems like some of the pps do.  I'd be fine with people putting poop in my can if they opened up one of the garbage bags already in there, tucked it inside, and tied it back up.  [/quote]

Do you honestly think that someone lazy and inconsiderate enough to put poop in your can is going to open up an existing bag and tie it back up? Dream on![/quote]Well, the truth is I don't know whether or not anyone does that now -- because the bag would be hidden away in my own garbage bag.  I usually put my dog's poop bags in a public trash can (which by the way is also against DC regulations) but if the dog poops on the way home I will put the poop bag inside an existing garbage bag in my own can.  And, like I said, I'd be fine if other dog walkers did that.  But I'm not enough of an expert on the ethics of dogwalkers to be able to speculate as to whether the distributive poopbaggers are too lazy to make this adjustment.[/quote]
