They come in sets of 100 and hang on a doorknob or hook so they're easy to rip off.
Because they're made to drop newspapers in, one side of the top opening is lower than

Here's one way that I've seen demonstrated. It's neat and tidy, and
has the additional advantage of warming your hand on a cold day:

Insert hand into the bag like it was a big mitten;

Pick up the dog poop;

With your free hand, turn the bag inside out thus leaving poop inside
the bad and freeing your (still clean, now warm) hand.

Yes. After the first load, the original inside is now the outside. You don't even
want to stick your hand back inside the outside of the bag, 'cause, as Wayne said,
the old outside, which is now inside, is full of poop.

That's the exact method used by myself and the vast majority of the local dog walkers....and yes, the type and size of bag matters.
The freebe version supplied by our parks and grounds people are a bit too narrow for me. Somewhat like sticking your hand in a cookie jar and after loading up, get stuck. I buy ours from the Dollar store...60 biodegradable bags for a loonie.

I got a couple hundred (a whole roll) for free when the gated
community across the river lost them in the water. We weren't even
sure what they were when we picked them up but we pick up anything we
see in the water.
Once they dried out I figured up what they were and put them in the

As I said, Mr Ed is very good about coming home to his tree before he
drops a deuce. When we had an incident I go get my shovel and drag him
back to watch the clean up and the walk of shame back to the tree.
He figured it out right away.
Now it is just a sprint back to his spot, keeps us both in shape.
He is funny sliding into home. He assumes the position about 3 feet
from the spot and slides the rest of the way. (occasionally doing a
little "crop dusting")

"Here's one way that I've seen demonstrated. *It's neat and tidy, and
has the additional advantage of warming your hand on a cold day:

Insert hand into the bag like it was a big mitten;

Pick up the dog poop;

With your free hand, turn the bag inside out thus leaving poop inside
the bad and freeing your (still clean, now warm) hand."


Good to see someone using common sense.
That's the exact method used by myself and the vast majority of the local dog walkers....and yes, the type and size of bag matters.
The freebe version supplied by our parks and grounds people are a bit too narrow for me. Somewhat like sticking your hand in a cookie jar and after loading up, get stuck. I buy ours from the Dollar store...60 biodegradable bags for a loonie.


That is most certainly the correct procedure for the *first* load, for the second and
subsequent loads, a bit of handy-dandy dexterity is required. But, it's easily
accomplished.

What do you do with the bags that are full of poop? Here we must double bag the poop
before putting in the trash for pickup.

Three times now I have told you I haven't seen our local owls in a

Actually, I believe this is the first time you've mentioned the owls after your
'picture' turned out to be someone else's. But, I do believe you've never seen those
owls, let alone take the pictures you presented to the group as yours.

Given that, I don't believe much of anything you say, whether it's about birds,
barns, or Cape Horn.

Compared to what Frank Purdue is dumping in from the Eastern Shore and
what DC dumps in, untreated every time it rains or the snow melts, it
is insignificant. I would be interested to see what the fecal coliform
numbers at Quantico are right now. I suppose I could look but it will

Depends on where I am. If walking on the sidewalk near the city trash cans....in it goes. At the local park they provide big drums with clear garbage bags inside for us. At home, my Springer has his own '**** can' with a large leaf type garbage bag inside. Over a two week period only a small fraction of that bag is filled.

It's a fairly new law up here (since August 1 2014) that we are allowed one black bag and up to four clear bags every two weeks. This is to encourage the non conforming to properly recycle what can be recycled.

We're lucky here also. Huge trash barrel, probably the same size as yours, and a
recycle barrel that's about as big. Paper, cans, bottles, and plastic all go into the

Must be smaller than 6" diameter, which is pretty damn big! And the bundles are not

Well, guess our trash doesn't stink like yours but during July and August they empty our green food waste bins weekly because of fruit flies. In the cool and cold months two weeks is no big deal.

Biodegradable bags don't degrade in the land fill anyway. They break
down in UV light.
My solution is probably the most environmentally friendly and the tree
is growing like crazy. Nature takes care of it with no plastic

Lee county is pretty good too. We provide our own cans for trash but
they are looking at the 65 gallon Totes.
The trash guys take anything we set out there although the scrappers
will snatch anything metal, including white goods.
When I remodeled the bathroom, they took about half a ton of old tile,
stucco, drywall, wood and whatever from the demolition.
We already have the 65 gallon Tote for the single stream recycle.
I think they burn everything but the metal and glass tho. They do ship
a token amount of paper and plastic but I bet it isn't 10%. It is all
PR. Environmentally, burning it in our high tech incinerator has to be
better than trucking it 1000 miles or more to a recycle plant.
I judge that by asking, how much is scrap paper/plastic worth at a
local scrap dealer and the answer is zero.

I have no problems with the horticulture guys either. They say
anything less than 50 pounds but they took a 100# tree stump I wanted
a few weeks ago. It was too close to the curb ;-)

After Charlie they sent around claw trucks and took everything, no
matter how it was cut up. I filled up a whole 40' trailer and a bit
more.

They got rid of the single can and sort the recycle at the transfer station
about 10 years ago. We have a 30 gallon garbage and 30 gallon recycle tot
and a 65 gallon green waste tote. Food waste and Haden trimmings. Picked
up weekly. We could have all 65 gallon totes, but we Do Not generate that
much trash, as we do mostly fresh food, and little frozen prepared dinners,
and there are only 2 of us. We do pay heftily.

The last time I went out to the dump, they had dumpsters outside the

having to pick it up on the side of the road.

Must be smaller than 6" diameter, which is pretty damn big! And the bundles are not
supposed to be more than six feet long. Have to admit I'm very satisfied with the
trash removal in this county.

Lee county is pretty good too. We provide our own cans for trash but
they are looking at the 65 gallon Totes.
The trash guys take anything we set out there although the scrappers
will snatch anything metal, including white goods.
When I remodeled the bathroom, they took about half a ton of old tile,
stucco, drywall, wood and whatever from the demolition.
We already have the 65 gallon Tote for the single stream recycle.
I think they burn everything but the metal and glass tho. They do ship
a token amount of paper and plastic but I bet it isn't 10%. It is all
PR. Environmentally, burning it in our high tech incinerator has to be
better than trucking it 1000 miles or more to a recycle plant.
I judge that by asking, how much is scrap paper/plastic worth at a
local scrap dealer and the answer is zero.

I have no problems with the horticulture guys either. They say
anything less than 50 pounds but they took a 100# tree stump I wanted
a few weeks ago. It was too close to the curb ;-)

After Charlie they sent around claw trucks and took everything, no
matter how it was cut up. I filled up a whole 40' trailer and a bit
more.

We get five special pickups a year. That can include a whole tree or whatever. They
use the big claw trucks for that.

Thank god we live in civilized places where we are not expected to carry
our own garbage to the dump.


We can also take it to the dump, but have to pay a fee to do so. If the load is more
than four or five bags, the truck gets weighed and the charge is by the pound.


The last time I went out to the dump, they had dumpsters outside the
fence you could use for free. I suppose they think that is better than
having to pick it up on the side of the road.


Was at the dump 2 days ago. We get a free dump day a year. But had to cut
down my pear tree, fire blight casualty, and the annual tree pruning. Was
a $9 charge for a pickup load. Minimum charge.

We're lucky here also. Huge trash barrel, probably the same size as yours, and a
recycle barrel that's about as big. Paper, cans, bottles, and plastic all go into the

Not here. But, I can't recall seeing trash dumped alongside the road on the way to
the dump. Like I say, if it's just a few bags, it's free.
