There's a contentious question sweeping Axios Local newsletters: Is it OK to put your dog's bagged poop in a neighbor's trash can?

Driving the news: We're talking about the city-issued bins you roll out to the curb once a week, and we want readers to weigh in.

💭 My thought bubble: One thing that may sway my answer, which I'll share alongside the poll results, is I have a baby still in diapers. So, there's no shortage of poop in my trash can already.

Don't have a dog, but have an opinion on their poop in your trash can? Let us know, too! Or use the poll below:
