Is that allowed? Keep the pail in the garage? How often is TV trash pickup? Do they pick up in front of homes?

Are most TV residents tolerant of dogs being walked and business being conducted ?

P. S. ~ SORRY ....... I posted this thread before I reviewed the topic and see it has been discussed before. I get the impression that this is a touchy topic and dogs are not entirely welcome to walk around and do what dogs do ~ in TV. Tell me I'm wrong.
Dogs are very welcome to walk around (leashed) and do what dogs do. What's not welcome is allowing the dog to use somebody else's yard or community properties like the mail stations, day after day, without picking it up.

In past threads some dog lovers have insisted their dog won't doo it in their own yard, or they see nothing wrong with using somebody else's yard, or they seem to fear great psychological damage to the dog if it's not allowed to doo it where it pleases.

The problem is in the attitude of owners who have no consideration for others.

And yes, it's to be picked up with your hand in a bag, taken home, and put in the trash. Trash pickup is twice a week in the morning (ours is Tues. and Fri.) at the end of the driveway.

Somebody made a good suggestion for keeping the doo bags in the garage till trash day: Get a Diaper Genie:
