Dog Feces Disposal- Request for group action!
At our mail room, the trash receptacles now carry a sign “No Animal Feces, Please”. I’m not sure if this is local signage, or univeral touching all mail rooms. I understand the reasons for the signage, but doubt that this approach will work. People are reluctant to take smelly feces home in their cars, and likely will simply ignore the signs.
I suggest instead, they create one waste receptacle (maybe in a special color) somewhere in the dog “walking area” labeled “Animal Feces Only”. I think this approach might have a chance of succeeding, mostly. Don Kobes |

Your dog.......your mess. Take it home! Better yet, walk the dog on YOUR property, not the community property!

Wow - that's a little strong. Dogs need exercise and walking circles around my house doesn't do me or the dog any good. Responsible dog owners pick up their dog's mess and pay what you pay to live in this community and should have equal access. I always try to have my dog poop in a certain non public area, but I can't control everything. Sometimes when you gotta go you gotta go

Now, how would you clean up after TreT??

Glad we do not have any parkour dogs here in the Villages. Can you imagine the poop trails? All of the mail centers that I have been to in the Villages have stickers on their trash cans saying "no pet feces" or something to that effect. |

it sounds like there are a lot of dog-owning residents who do not "self-enforce" re the rules for no dog feces in trash receptacles - - - - - i wonder what opinion those same folks hold re the enforcement of deed restrictions.

Dogs need exercise! For sure...BUT I've noticed folks bringing their dogs via their car or golf cart to the mailboxes common area as well as the rec centers common areas specifically to walk them. I don't think the trash recepticals here should be used for the "left-overs"

The grassy areas around the mail rooms, to include the rear of the facility, are not dog walk areas! In our neighborhood, dog owners use these areas, along with areas around the shuttle board to let their pets do their business! And some of these inconsiderate folks do not pick up after their pets. As stated earlier, your animal, your choice to own it, use your yard for a pet potty, dispose waste at your house!!!! Pretty simple!!!

Lets see now..You take your dog to an area where lots of dogs crap. They walk around in the mess that doesn't always get cleaned up as well as it should. Most dogs don't wear rubber boots when walking in this kind of area. And they love to stick there cute little nose right down in the grass to get a better smell of what was deposited there!Then when the little darling is done doing his business, he jumps into the cart/car without cleaning his feet! Sometimes he even gets to sit on the owners lap for the drive home and gives his kind master a nice lick and nuzzle for being so kind! And to think I use a germicide to wipe down a grocery cart handle!
