They are easy to just carry home and dispose of properly. It would be nice if there were containers available for people on long walks to use, but we could make up a laundry list of items to add to the hike and bike. There is a bond proposal involving parks, Prop B. Maybe we could look into what Prop B might provide in the way of capital projects. Like lighting! But, the bottom is, while it's awesome to buy the bags and pick up the wasted your dog generates. Too bad that some people think that is simply enough. Please, if you see anyone tossing a bag to the side of the trail, give them an encouraging word for me! Namaste. My partner and I use those bags up by 22nd Streeet and Nicholson.

Eating shit, for example. I would ask that dog owners who bag their poo and then litter to try other means of disposal. Eating shit, for example.

Request a trash can or a sign (don't know if there is a sign about littering fines) or both. It's likely that although lots of people notice and dislike it, no one has taken a few minutes out of their day to report it. If the city is responsible for the maintenance of the trail, contact 311.

Drives me crazy all the trash laying around. Even landing at IAH, the first thing you see is trash blown all over the place. @ markd, and @ sugarpie, you are exactly right, nobody throws away their trash in Houston and the grafitti is everywhere.

just treat your dogs like people and kids, kick them along and make them hold it until the can reach a “pooping grounds”. only those that can’t reach the grounds should have to bag it.

I see almost no people scooping. The grafitti is getting worse, too, on the warehouses between Yale and Shepherd. Still better than taking a chance on walking the path along Heights Blvd, though. The east/west drivers seem to believe all those stop signs are maybe, sort of, just a glimmering suggestion to stop.
