Poo Part Deux

RECEIVED Fri., April 2, 2021

Hello Luv Doc
    Regarding your column on placing dog poop in other people's trash bins [“Trash is Trash,” March 26] – I agree with your position for many reasons, but there is one that I think is particularly important. My wife and I travel quite a bit and are sometimes out of town for months. We had someone (or more than person) placing dog poop in our bin and when you've been away from home for a long time, especially during hot weather, it is especially unpleasant to deal with the smell of hot baked poop in the trash bin. I don't think people should casually make the assumption that trash is emptied every week. We had to start hiding the bin when we left town.
    Thanks for bringing some attention to this issue.
