WAY off topic I know... But no one else has any idea... Figured I'd ask here...
I got a letter attached to my trash can today.
Due to health concerns, please refrain from placing pet waste in garbage receptacles.
WHAT!?! 8O
My dog goes in my yard, and about once a week, I will put on a plastic glove, get a plastic grocery bag, pick it all up, tie the bag closed, and toss it in the trash can. I was not aware of any health concerns. When I called the number and inquired about them, they didnt know either, but that there WERE concerns.
The waste from my dog is contained in a bag, so for it getting on the trash guys when they pick up the trash, I dont see how that could happen. As far as in the dump its self, how is this different then a babys disposable diaper? I asked my neighbor (no pets) if they got this letter and they said nope. I thought maybe it was a form letter. no...its because I have been putting dog waste in the trash can.
I dont mind tossing the stuff in the woods. Im sure theres all kinds of bugs and stuff that would enjoy it, but I would LOVE to know what kind of health concerns there are for putting dog poo in the trash. anyone EVER heard of this?
