SLC weighs in on leaving dog poop bags in strangers' trash cans

Yes, but: Even the poop-dumpers agree that bags should be carefully tied or sealed before being left in a stranger's bin.

Here's what some of you had to say, edited for grammar and brevity:

• "Trash can owners are being stingy and over possessive (of something that technically doesn't even belong to them). They should be thrilled [that] irresponsible dog owners aren't letting dogs poop in yards." — Ann C.
• "No poop in my garbage can, please. Smells awful." — Tag M.
• "I do appreciate being able to dispose of the bags because it takes a hand to carry it, and if I need to scratch my nose or something, I have to juggle to manage it." — Jean R.
• "I love dogs, but the smell of their poop makes me gag. No, really. So I HATE it when people use my trash can to deposit their poop bags. It makes an already stinky thing much worse." — Leslie P.

• "As a dog owner and foster for a rescue, I'm completely opposed to anyone putting their dogs' poop in anyone else's garbage can. I have had tons (possibly literally) of dog poop in my own garbage cans, but I don't think it's fair for folks who don't have dogs to have to deal with that!" — Iva W.
