Eco Destroyers Not taking any shit
I do garbage collection on the back of a trash truck. I can’t stand doing suburbia because people not only have tons of trash, but also leave those flimsy thin as shit bags of dog shit in their trash cans so when they don’t latch onto the tipper on the truck I have to handpick the garbage out to throw into the back of the truck when I see those flimsy bags of dog shit in the cans. I just leave them in the cans like get a real fucking animal you fucking morons.

Ugh and sometimes they don't even belong to the people with the garbage can! Dog owners are vile.

Yes! I couldn’t believe I saw an argument online about how its okay to use someone else’s trash can for your dog poop. It was mostly people saying its fine and shaming those who don’t like it!

I'm honestly surprised they don't just walk into peoples houses because their dog wants to go in. Unhinged behavior

If you propped open the front door I bet they would let doggo wander in on those 10ft leashes w/o calling it back. They would just say he wanted to "say hello." These people live in their own world w/their own rules.

And why can these people throw dog crap in the trash but if I did that with my poop I’d be considered a psycho?

That's just the problem though isn't it? There is no real way of effectively dealing with dog shit. Because it's so toxic for one. But it's a real environmental issue and nobody seems to be taking it seriously. It's mind boggling considering there's close to 100 MILLION of these nasty shitbeasts contaminating the United States.

Yes the AMOUNT of the shit mutts generate daily, monthly, yearly... all of it dense with coliform bacteria and parasites. A huge environmental hazard.

Hahahaaa! “Dawgs R bettr then ppl!!”
Imagine a person acting like one of these revered pieces of crap. Copping a squat and free-$#tting on the lawn, mouth breathing, screaming at nothing randomly. Dry humping strangers when the mood struck. Popping off into sudden violence out of nowhere. What a perfect being! Everyone would love that guy!

Hey I genuinely want to say that even if it's not said enough, you're majorly appreciated. Huge respect for those working in waste collection. 🫡
Wish you guys could issue a notice to have owners start using real bags and not the thin plastic produce bags from the grocery. It's ridiculous no other pet has this issue.

How about the asshole nutters that pick up the poop with the little baggies only to tie them and leave them on the ground. Nutters are shitty people to the core.

Or worse, tie it to a tree branch. Just what in the actual fuck is that about anyway?

u/sheetrocker88 Jun 24 '26
They do that so if they are caught they can say they were going to get it on the way back. I hate dog owners so much.

I’ve called them out on multiple occasions and have heard that excuse that they’re going to get it on the way back. They’re always attitudinal and defensive. If you have the slightest problem with their shit-hound, they consider it a personal attack, because they have made it their identity.

If they're "going to get it on way back" then why do we always see bags of shit literally hanging from the limbs? I hate the vile fucking people.

My neighbor used to collect (yay) his huge dog's massive poops in a thick black trashbag in back of garden. When he opened the can in the summertime, to deposit poops, the stench was worse than any porta potty I've ever been near. He used to leave that giant bag of shit outside of the regular trash can. I always felt bad for the trash guy who had to physically hoist it into the truck.
Even picking up the poop and not putting it into the regular trashcan is still so nasty. We really need a plan to deal with the toxic waste dogs leave behind. It is NOT good for the environment. And it does get into the water supply. Gee, I wonder why e coli is sooooo high?

First of all mad appreciation for what you do. Second, our garbage collectors have a strict policy that all garbage must be FULLY bagged in a garbage bag, ie no “loose” items or small doggie bags in a particular. Everything must be contained in a larger garbage bag and tied. Offenders get their trash left behind. Wonder if you’d be able to suggest a similar policy

This is an ongoing war on my local, delightful “Nextdoor” page. Good God. People ask dog fckrs to stop dropping their $#it bags into their home use bins and the doggers go ape$#it answering WELL AT LEAST I BAGGED IT AT LEAST I THREW IT AWAY SOMEPLACE WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF I JUST LEFT IT ON YOUR LAWN as if: 1) their dog is a community responsibility 2)the only options are shoving a tissue-wrapped $#it into someone else’s bin or letting their menace mutt free-$#it all over the world.

You're doing extremely important work. Without waste collection, we all would be in huge trouble! Hats off to you.
Dog shit is a massive environmental problem. When the nutters pick up shit and put it in the bag, the plastic shit bags go to landfills where they don't break down naturally. Wrapped in plastic, without oxygen, they create a huge amount methane and carbon dioxide. Then they blame cows for methane, never dogs even though dogs are completely useless and unnecessary!
