I have a question for everyone and a suggestion that I thought of this morning. My question is where does everyone put the poop bags after they poop and scoop? At my old house, we had a recycling bin beside the side of the house, where we kept our garbage can, we placed the poop bags in a plastic bag, in the bin until garbage day and then placed the bag in the garbage can on collection day. At our new house, we live in a condominium townhouse complex and we are not allowed to have garbage bins or recycling bins in our backyards. We have a common garbage room for each row of townhouses, where they have bins for garbage, bins for recycling, and green bins for food waste. Everyone places their garbage and recycling in this room in the bins, and every Wednesday night they get placed at the end of the complex for garbage pickup by the city. Over the winter, we didn't walk very far from home, as it has been a brutally cold winter, and we had tons of ice and snow, so I would pick up the poop with the poop bag, and then I brought it into the house, and would flush the poop down the toilet and then throw the bag in the garbage. Now that's its nicer outside, we go for a little longer walks off the complex, and if they poop on the way, I scoop it and then throw the bags in the city trash cans along the way. Now my suggestion that I thought about is yesterday my son and I went to the plaza across the street, and we popped into the PetValu and picked up a few things for the cat, when we were in the cat section I saw a cat litter container to store the dirty litter in, its kind of the same idea as a Diaper Genie where you store the dirty diapers in until you throw them out, and it contains the smell. We wouldn't use this for the kitty litter because we clean the litter box every Wednesday, and put it in a garbage bag, and take it right to the garbage on garbage pick up day, so we don't have to store the soiled litter. I was thinking though that this would be a good idea for the poop bags, I could put it in the backyard or in the garage, and when we have poop bags, we can place them in the receptacle and then put them out in the trash on garbage day. The receptacle would hold the bags until garbage pick up day, and you wouldn't be able to smell them.
