Also, my DH works for a company that would very much call the police if they had you on camera dumping anything in their commercial dumpsters.

It's called illegal dumping.

You’re citing a junk hauling company’s website. This is not evidence that the police care at all about a stray poop bag. (They don’t.) And the police also won’t do anything about other de minimis trash. What they might take seriously is a contractor disposing of meaningful amounts of waste in someone’s trash can or dumpster.

I have not felt any regret for doing it.

And for those saying they are calling the police, I hope if you do, you at least call the non-emergency number and not 911. I'd also like to know their response when you call.

Thanks.


So if your neighbor’s trashcan had already been emptied, you would just hang on to the poop bag until you got home?
Yep. Correct. One thing if the trash hasn't been picked up yet. Another if it has been emptied. Weird quirk, but true.

And for the 911 caller that wasn't sure if it was a bomb or a bag of dog poop, I'm still curious of the response that is expected. Have you done this? Yes, there was a nefarious looking man in joggers and a vest with a big slobbery lab. He dropped something in my trashcan. I think it might be a bag of dogpoop, but it may be a bomb. Please send help right away!


I'm that PP and the response that I would expect is the police coming over, me sharing a video of some lazy assh0le putting stuff in my bin (private property) and investigating what it actually was. I am more than fine with the police going over to the said assh0le's house to ask him why he is doing that. If they can act entitled, so can I. If they can respond to drug addicts and loiterers, they can respond for this too.


My trash bin has large writing that says “property of Fairfax County.” And police can go through your curbside trash cans without a warrant.

I want to assure you the police don’t give a sh*t (no pun intended) about a person putting a single poop bag in your curbside trash can. They don’t give a sh*t about way more serious offenses.


I don't know what you're putting in there. Might as well be a bomb. Yes, they very much care about that.

My trash can is my property and if someone steals it or damages it I'm on the hook for the cost of the new one. So it is very much private property.

I'm sorry that you think your shitty behaviour has no impact on anyone else, but it does. If you haven't learned that lesson yet, I'm happy to have the police explain it to you.


I don’t put anything in anyone’s trash cans. And give me a break, you know what’s going into the trash can. And if you’re making unfounded police reports about possible bombs, prepare to be cited yourself.


I may think I know, but I have no way of being certain. Funny, you so staunchly defend the behavior you claim not to participate in.

You're not scaring me.


Those were my only comments on this thread? I’m not defending the behavior at all. I’m saying calling the police about it is patently absurd and will make the police hate you or cite you. The police don’t care about significantly more serious issues. They’re not going to waste their time on this and will be pissed if you false or misleading reports to them.

You're free to make that bet and find out.

Of course I do this! It’s a public dumpster and a bag of dog poop here and there is not a big impact.

Please call. Record. Upload to social media so we all can watch this unfold.


I already said I record everywhere on my property. Why wouldn't I?

It prevents a lot of assh0le behavior since everyone is aware they are on camera
