It's a frustrating sight we've all seen: a neatly tied bag of dog waste sitting proudly on top of the trash can lid instead of inside it. This common issue stems from a mix of laziness, misplaced consideration ("At least I bagged it!"), and sometimes, a genuine fear of lifting a dirty lid. So, how do you encourage proper disposal? Start with clear, polite communication. A simple, weatherproof sign on the bin saying "Please lift the lid and place bags INSIDE. Thank you!" can work wonders. Make the bin more user-friendly. Ensure the lid opens easily and isn't overly heavy. If odor is a concern, sprinkle baking soda inside or use a bin with a foot pedal. Consider the placement. Is the can in a dark corner? Move it to a well-lit area. Is it already overflowing? Empty it more frequently. For a community bin, propose a dedicated, clearly marked pet waste station with a wide-opening design. Sometimes, the solution is a different type of bin altogether, like one with a specially designed opening for bags. Ultimately, combining clear instructions with convenience is key. By removing the barriers and gently reminding users of the correct method, you can keep your outdoor space cleaner and odor-free for everyone.
How do I prevent people from putting dog waste bags on top of the lid instead of inside the outdoor trash can?
