So, I guess the new signs could say...

"We're not taking any more crap from you!"

dog friendly, that link is to a pdf on the web. It requires Adobe Reader in order to open it. You can download it from here ----> Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

Here's the info from that pdf re: the dog poop:

"On a different topic, I would
like to remind people to be
mindful of their actions.
What I am referring to is
doggie poop being placed in
the trash containers at the
postal facilities. The trash containers
are a convenience for
residents to discard junk mail –
not for doggie poop.
The District will be putting
signs on the trash containers
stating “No Pet Waste.” If people
continue to put pet waste
in the trash containers, the
District will need to consider
alternatives such as removal
of the trash containers. This
unfortunately would penalize
the majority due to the actions
of a few.

so we will see if the MAJORITY loses another one.

What could be so intolerable (not saying it is right) to remove a convenience of the majority?

In my opinion it is poor judgement to tell the masses we will penalize YOU for the few. Unless we are supposed to be motivated to establish a poop guard schedule to rotate by household to keep the benefit od the MAJORITY safe.

Sounds like mediocre, inexperienced management doing a puff up!!

Pass the popcorn.

Default Dog Poop Saga

Since this seems to be a recurring issue at all postal stations why don't they consider installing a pet waste can at each site similar to what they have outside the pet stores and solve two problems, maybe even three, with one solution. No more pet waste in the mail trash bins, single place for pet waste, and maybe just maybe some of those inconsiderate pet owners that leave their pets solid waste on the ground will be inclined to pick it up and dispose of it properly.

Not a bad idea. The article's author listed his e-mail address at the end - you might consider sending him your thoughts directly.
