Knowing how cheap and greedy people can be, the bags provided probably get stolen the same way salt/pepper shakers and liquid coffee creamers are stolen from restaurants.

I don't think lack of bags is why there is uncollected dog waste there. I think it's laziness and lack of concern for county parks, because if we forgot to bring bags and the dispenser were out of them, I would find a piece of paper or plastic in the car or some large leaves to pick up the poop with.

It takes effort, not just free bags provided with somebody else's money.
