[Summit] Dog messages in trash cans

[Anne]

Judi, that's rude of the dog walkers!  (I am one. I would never dream  
of putting a waste bag anywhere but in our own trash.)

I noticed a few people have marked their large trash bins "NO DOG  
WASTE" with permanent paint or marker. Perhaps spelling it out would  
help with your problem.

I always feel I have to apologize for lazy dog owners!  So sorry this  
happens. The only silver lining is that at least these folks are  
picking up the dog waste and not leaving it to get smushed and  
tracked around on the sidewalks.
