Leaving their well bagged fecal matter in any waste container around here isn't a good idea because of the heat, as others have stated.

We moved here with our older dog who passed a few years ago and she used only our yard to do her business. She was very feeble so taking her for a walk was out of the question. I do understand why that man who yelled might have been upset....even though the land might not be his, he is responsible for the care of the lawn. I have a couple of neighbors who walk their pooches through the neighborhood and every once in a while, one of the doggies does wet on our grass. Problem is, once one marks, then another dog will do the same and pretty soon, you've got an area of dead grass.

I'm sorry you were yelled at. Some people are just grouchy. Maybe this person has been having problems with other dogs and you just happened to arrive at the wrong time.

There is usually a utility easment along the edge of the property. The homeowner still owns the property up to the road. The easment gives the utility companies right of access along the easment. It does not transfer ownership of the property to the utility companies.
