<font size="3">Dog owners sign on for the responsibility of dealing with
dog waste. When many dog owners use public waste bins in the park, the
concentrated poop creates a public nuisance that impinges on other

The truth is that we live in a world of poop and pee - dogs, cats, birds,

They advise disposing of dog waste in the nearest trash receptacle. It
does mention that there are specific types of canisters one can have
installed in the park for dog waste. perhaps that would be a solution.
