Thanks everyone for the tips! So far I’ve put a “no poop” sign on the lid and it’s been okay so far (finger crossed). Just have to be a bit more diligent bringing the bin inside as early as we can in the morning.

and by the way, the sanitation workers themselves are very easy to approach. it is not like approaching other city employees who are nagged by the public all day long. if you start talking to them or ask a favor, they will listen and they will remember you.

I just read back here after olodaf wrote what he did. this is what I would do. I would ask sanitation if they can leave your cans upside down when they empty them. as I said above, I sometimes have to toss a snack wrapper in the trash and at the first inconvenience, I move on to the next bin. the people doing this will not turn your trash cans back over for you.

also, have you tried calling sanitation? supposedly there are rules on this (per Maggie). years ago, someone was walking their very big dog along the front of an abandoned commercial building in the winter. I would walk by on my way to work, passing disgusting mounds of old poo and the steaming fresh poo left in the snow. I called sanitation; they must have staked someone out there from 6 AM on and watch because within days, the problem stopped. it started again, I called again, and it stopped and the second time it stopped for good.

keep in mind sanitation has their own police officers and because they have to justify their existence more so than other city employees, they might be on this like flies on ……

Little Pea – Sorry, I didn’t see your follow-up posts explaining your situation further. Ignore what I wrote. Does the DSNY leave your bin outside on the street? You may also want to complain to the DSNY since you’re not the only person with this problem. They may have a solution, though I doubt it. Still the more people complain, the more likely they will have to address it.

olodaf: build a garbage shed and turn the doors toward the inside of the yard. i frequently have to throw a water bottle or snack wrapper out when i am working in these areas. the simple existence of a shed, forget the lock, causes me to move on to the next yard with unobstructed waste bins. all the OP has to do is obstruct the bins somehow and they will move on to others. plant thorny rose bushes in front of the yard.

Could you build a garbage shed and use a lock? I see quite a few brownstones and buildings with wooden trash sheds that are used for regular trash and recyclables. Most have locks on them. Perhaps you can build or purchase one small enough for your compost bin.

fwiw – dsny states that the correct procedure for discarding dog poop is to pick it up in a bag, dump the contents of the bag into the toilet, and then throw away the bag. similarly we’re apparently supposed to empty the contents of poopy diapers into the toilet before throwing the diapers away.

Littlepea, I am indeed a homeowner. Could i make some assumptions about you?

Dorkofwinsor, you’re obviously not a homeowner who has to deal with this. First of all, the bag they used was not biodegradable. Second, the label on the compost box clearly stated no pet wastes. And finally, poop that stays in the bin for an entire week stinks (especially during summer) and attracts other pests, like flies and mosquito, which cause diseases. We have small children and they’re already enough to deal with. Last thing I want is to deal with more cleanup after other people and their dogs.

I have this problem all the time and it drives me crazy. Dog poop strinks and the smell lingers in the bin for days. I don’t have dogs in the city for a reason: it’s a lousy environment for them. Look, I love dogs. My mom raised guide dogs for the blind (German Shepherds) from puppies for 40 years so I know a thing or two about about them. Too many city dog owners are anthropomorphic fools who know nothing about these wonderful animals and further more believe their rights as pet owners out-weigh the rights of bipeds to enjoy clean streets, blooming front yards, and tree pits with spring bulbs. The next person who tells me their darling pup can only pee in a green space…. Your dog will pee anywhere you train it to pee and that includes the gutter, you moron!!

Littlepea, there are hardly any corner bins in Brooklyn. Many people have biodegradable dog bags, which would make it…. compost. But, ill get off your lawn now. Maybe go rant with the other nutcracks on Nextdoor? What a grave disservice to life, if this is your main problem perhaps a hobby would help. Jesus fucking christ

Ah, the OP was writing about one of those brown City organic waste bins I misunderstand Of course that can’t be locked.

dorkofwinsor, first of all, compost bin are not for litter/poop. Second, it’s my private property and not for public use! For your own dog crap, you should use the corner bins provided by the city or just take it home with you. My bin is only outside because it’s trash collection day, not because I want everyone to use it.

It happened on trash pickup day so I can’t lock it unfortunately, otherwise DSNY won’t be able to empty it. It’s really annoying because it’s after DSNY emptied the bin (which only happens once per week) and this a-hole threw their dog poop in my clean bin before I can collect it in the morning.

dorkofwindsor Did you even read the OP??? Compost bin not trash receptacle. Most likely in those plastic bags. They also get thrown in recycling a lot. I gues you’re called dorkofwindsor for a reason. ?

I bought one of these for my main trash bin and works pretty well so far. Not a lock, but enough of a pain to make people move on to someone else’s bin. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HLMFSST/

I am appalled that people pick up and try to dispose of their dog poop in actual trash receptacles made for that purpose. You just can’t win….. why can’t they just be like the rest of NYC and leave it on the sidewalk??? (and no I don’t do this, but have you lived anywhere else in the city?)
