Letter: Pack home your own dog poop, Richmond pet owners

Dear Editor, I just had my garbage picked up and got a notice in my mail box saying that no plastic bags or dog waste is allowed in the yard trimmings. Of course I know that. I worked all day yesterday mowing and trimming.

Dear Editor,

I just had my garbage picked up and got a notice in my mail box saying that no plastic bags or dog waste is allowed in the yard trimmings.

Of course I know that. I worked all day yesterday mowing and trimming. I put my yard waste paper bags out by the sidewalk yesterday afternoon for pickup today.

After I got the notice, I went and checked my bags which had not been picked up yet, and there, right on top of my trimmings, was a little green bag full of dog waste!

I do not have a dog.

Seriously people, be responsible. Take your waste home and dispose of it how you are supposed to. Don’t just drop it anywhere.

That is very frustrating and just shows there are a lot of irresponsible animal owners.
