I live in a medium-sized town in the Midwest of the USA.
When I take my dogs out for walks, I always pick up their poop in small bags. I usually carry it home, but sometimes, if I’m passing a garbage bin out by the curb, I’ve thought about just dropping it in there. A few times, if it was trash day, people have seen me and said it was fine. I’ve never done it without permission, but it got me thinking…
Would you mind if someone tossed a bagged dog poop into your bin on the street? Or does it seem rude? Does this depend on where you live? And do you have public bins in your area?
I usually carry it home or wait to find a public trash can. Wouldn’t feel right tossing it in a neighbor’s bin without asking, and I’d be uncomfortable if someone did that to me.

Think about it like this: if someone left rotting food in your bin, would you be okay with that? Putting anything in someone else’s bin isn’t really right.

I get your point, but if it’s just a small dog poop bag and on trash day, is it that big a deal? At least it keeps the street clean.

I rely on assistance to get my bin to the curb. One time it stayed out all week because no one brought it back. This could be an issue if people used it.
