If you're out walking your furry friend and nature calls, it's tempting to toss that neatly wrapped poop bag into a nearby dumpster. After all, it's right there, and it seems like a harmless solution, right? Well, not quite.
In this video, we explain why tossing animal waste into a Neighborly Hauling dumpster is not as convenient for the person who rented it as it might seem for you.
Our Dumpsters Are Private, Not Public
Neighborly Hauling dumpsters prominently display three important signs:
- This is a private dumpster.
- For customer use only.
- No animal waste allowed.
These dumpsters are paid for by homeowners or contractors, giving them the right to decide what can go in. When you toss your pet’s waste in without permission, you’re essentially taking advantage of someone else’s rental.
Why Animal Waste is a Problem
Animal waste may seem harmless, but it poses both practical and safety issues. When placed in a dumpster, it can make the surfaces more slippery and dangerous, especially for the dumpster owner. Plus, animal waste is corrosive and could lead to additional cleaning and wear on the bin, which is not fair to the paying customer.
Think of Your Neighbor
While it might feel neighborly to toss your trash in someone else’s bin, it's really only considerate if you have their permission. Neighborly Hauling charges by the pound, so any extra waste added without the owner’s consent means extra cost for them. Without permission, it’s not just impolite—it’s a financial burden.
Rent Your Own Dumpster
If you frequently find yourself in need of extra trash space, why not rent your own dumpster? Neighborly Hauling offers easy rentals and even curbside services to handle all of your disposal needs. Visit NeighborlyHauling.com to explore our services.
In conclusion, while it may be convenient to toss that dog poop bag in the nearest dumpster, it’s not neighborly or fair to the person paying for that space. Keep your community clean and courteous—rent your own bin, or take the waste home!
P.S. Safety matters too—slick surfaces and animal waste don’t mix well in dumpsters, making them hazardous for both the owners and the waste management team. Let's keep things safe and sanitary for everyone involved.
