[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're not going to get a direct dial number that connects you to a person who will, within hours of your calling, arrange for someone to come and clean up the poop.  It's just not happening.

As I see it, your options are to continue to call about it and submit tickets, recognizing that it isn't likely to yield quick results, or, recognizing that it isn't and shouldn't be your responsibility, arm yourself with dog poop bags, rubber gloves, and Clorox wipes, and do it yourself.

What you are suggesting is actually dangerous. Also, where would the poop then be disposed of? Again, dangerous. Human faeces c series disease. And we pay taxes for proper hygiene in the city .[/quote]

Have you never picked up poop before?  You turn a bag inside out, grab it, pull the bag around it, and tie it off.  Wear gloves of you feel its necessary.  If you want, wipe any residue with a clorox wipe, stuff it in the bag, and then throw it away (in *your* garbage, not a neighbor's can or a public, bagless can).

Is it pleasant?  No.  Should you have to do it?  Again, no.  Is it dangerous?  Of course not.  Don't be a ninny.

But if you prefer, a third option is to wait for the rain, and continue to let if fester 
there while continually asking for a city employee to come deal with it.  [/quote]

I believe human faeces is meant to be taken to the waste treatment facility, not put in the garbage for sanitation workers to deal with during pick up and sorting. But it's interesting that you want residents to walk with Clorox, gloves and adequate water blocks from their house to clean poop at bus stops and discard it inappropriately. Or would you like us to then drive it down to the Anacostia treatment facility? Perhaps you should brush up on the fairly recent San Diego hepatitis outbreak . Do we really need another epidemic?  Because your advice of amateur citizen poop patrols will surely aid and abet one

Your suggestion is that people cleaning up poop will make a hepatitis outbreak worse?  OK.

You also could take it home and flush it, you know.  [/quote]

You think citizens handling and carrying other people poop in and out of their homes isn't the quickest route to various outbreaks? You should try to get your GED at some point. There's still time.[/quote]
