Say good-bye to the garbage cans that collect dog dowdy at the Genesee off-leash park. The great minds in Seattle's municipal government is removing the garbage cans that collect refuse and replacing the receptacles with one dumpster for doody collection. The one-dumpster policy begins January 9.
Think dog-waste collection compliance is bad now? Imagine the fecal land mine that will develop when people become less inclined to walk across the 3.2 acres of the park with the rusty scooper to collect doody.
We are not debating the point of collecting your dog's waste: the law requires your compliance. But when the great minds of the city enact a policy with little explanation or rationale for the policy change. Nobody has explained:
- What is the waste collection policy changing?
- What i the frequency of waste collection of the dumpsters?
- Will the city provide additional poop bags to ensure compliance?
- Are all city-operated off-leash parks subject to the one-dumpster policy... or is it only dog parks in the Lovely Rainier Valley? (Do you believe that all the cans at Magnuson and Golden Gardens parks will be replaced with one dumpster per location?)
- Why aren't the garbage cans at the soccer fields being replaced by a single dumpster? Is this a dog-park policy?
Contact the city's park department for their rationale:
