We are dog lovers and we take our dog to dog park regularly. They have a designated can for depositing dog poop. I believe the cans are emptied daily (but not 100% certain of this).

I will say that even though the waste is put in plastic bags, the bags are tied in knots, and the cans are emptied daily, a combination of the hot sun and all that poop make for a nauseating smell, especially late in the day. I get ill just passing by these cans.

Just my opinion, but the garbage cans at the mailboxes should be for junk mail/mail trash only. Junk mail doesn't smell. Dog poop does. It's bad enough I have to go by the cans at dog park (my choice), I would prefer the cans at the mailboxes not smell like the cans at dog park.

I think the signs on the cans would be a good idea. I don't walk my dog by the mailbox area but I can see where someone who does use this area would think they are doing the RIGHT thing by picking up after their dog and disposing of it in the nearest can. I don't think you can assume that people know they are doing the wrong thing. In fact, I am inclined to think they think they are doing what they should be doing and if they knew what you thought they would feel bad.
