<font size="3">Public trash receptacles are not intended to be used for the
leavings of privately owned dogs. Nor should dog owners
"borrow" space in the trash bins of other residents.<br><br>
The polite process is to pick up your dog's poop in your plastic baggie,
take it home and put it in your trash bin.<br><br>

I wonder if anyone else finds it unusual not to have any public trash
receptacles except in the park. It does make life with a dog more
challenging.<br><br>

throw out your dog waste plastic baga in your own garbage cans, not other
people's. This is the second time I have had these "presents"
when I bring in the garbage after the Monday pickup.<br>
