Dog walking etiquette?

[RICHARD]

Thanks.

Here's my feelings about it.

The trash cans come out once a week here in the neighborhood. Back in El Lay there was a time when they "trash cops" would come by to check out what was going into the cans. We have three different cans, Recycleables, green refuse and regular trash.

Once in a blue moon, the sanitation workers come by to check on what is being put into the cans. They put a notice in your mailbox, it states, rather sternly that you will be flayed and quartered, if you mix up the trash.

Here in KY, there is a black can for trash, a small orange container for recycleables and you furnish your own can for garden waste.

One day I was walking the dog and picked up his poo and saw the cans were out for the weekly pickup.

Becuase the dog and I walk the same route every day, I don't want to cause any problems w/the neighbors.

I posted the question because I was curious about the 'etiquette' involved - that and I don't know how people/the city would react to trash/refuse going into the cans.

I'd never put the poop into a can that was empty/just picked up. And I just feel funny about putting poop into someone else's can.

(My roommate is very picky about what goes where....)

Thanks for the input and suggestions/stories.

I live in an apartment complex and when we walk there are poop garbage everywhere. If not at home we're at a park where there is plenty of garbages. When I lived in a neighborhood, I would stick it in the trash if it was curbside for pickup. I wouldn't go walking up to someone's house to throw it in. I really don't care what goes in my outdoor trash. I don't have to smell it or empty it.
