But people can also use some common sense and simply carry their trash to a trash can that isn't overflowing. On the topic of overflowing and stinky trash receptacles, I would like to ask all pet owners to adopt a simple code of etiquette for disposing of pet waste. With summer coming I propose that pet waste should never be placed into a trash can that is near a bench or table where people will be sitting. Please be considerate of others and deposit pet waste away from sitting areas.
