Frustration and debate have erupted online as residents voice their concerns about the disposal of dog waste bags when walking their dogs through residential areas. The discussion was triggered by a Sydney resident who observed a dog walker leaning over a neighbor’s fence to deposit a bag of dog waste into the nearest bin. The bin was not situated on a nature strip, and the act of reaching over someone else’s terrace house fence raised questions.
The discussion was initiated on Reddit by the concerned resident who posed the question: “Dog poo bags in other people’s bins — yay or nay?”
While the resident did not personally own a dog and did not intend to confront anyone over the matter, they expressed their unease with the practice, describing it as unappealing. The resident shared their past experience of living in a terrace house facing a busy pedestrian street, where people routinely disposed of their dog waste bags in their bins. As a result, their bins would emanate an unpleasant odor for the entire week following bin collection.
The post was intended to gauge the general consensus on this issue and sparked a lively debate among residents who shared varying opinions and experiences regarding the disposal of dog waste bags in other people’s bins. The discussion reflects the ongoing debate about proper etiquette and practices when it comes to disposing of dog waste in residential areas.
