FWIW:
A Twitter poll from April 2018: 70% said it was okay to put dog poop in a neighbors trash bin, 30% said "not okay". 4000 responses.
If I catch you leaving poop in my trash can, you get the hose.
+1
I'm actually shocked that anyone would even ask if it's OK to drop their dog poop bag in my trash can, and would bother to differentiate if it was before/after pick up.
Some of those 70% surveyed would be dog owners - they shouldn't get a vote. And since you can't know which 30% is which, just don't do it, out of respect of those 30%, and out of common decency. Plus, a self-selected survey like that is pretty meaningless - did mostly dog owners respond - we don't know?
Out of the group that would put a bag of dog poop in someone else's trash, guess what - some of those are not going to be the most careful types, and won't notice that oh, that back ripped open as I dropped it in, making a nasty mess for the trash can owner to clean up.
And put it in
after pick up? Geeez! It's in the 90's here this week, and we have weekly pick up. A week of that poop sitting in the can in the heat - gross, gross, gross! We avoid putting nasty stuff in our can in this heat if we are able, some stuff gets wrapped while it is still 'fresh' (meat/fish trimmings and wrapping , etc) and put in the freezer until trash day. Vegatable clipping go into the garden. Man, if I saw someone putting dog poop in my trash can
after pick up, I'd call the cops.
Where else is a dog supposed to urinate? They typically wont go on the street or sidewalks. Owners can try to force their pets to go in their own yard...but anyone who is rational knows dogs like to mark their spots. I dont consider it rude. .... .
And that's the problem.
You, as the dog owner, don't consider it rude. But the recipient does. Reminds me of the smokers who didn't consider it rude for
you to have to put up with
their smoke.
As I said before, the 'tone deafness' of some of the pet owners here is striking. I sometimes wonder if pet owning won't go the way of smoking - pet owners really have an effect on the people around them, and many are oblivious to it (like barking in the early morning, or the entire time I'm out in my yard). I'd be fine with no pets in public, you want a pet, keep it on your property (preferably indoors) and deal with it. Don't make your problem my problem.
