Dog poop, that is. We have a fenced yard, but I still pick up poop with scented poop bags and put in a small unlined can in the garage. It seems like a waste of bags/, though. So I'm thinking pooper scooper and medium can out back? Lined with a bag? I'm trying to think of the least stinky solution.

DH picks it up with a pooper scooper weekly and puts it in a bag that goes straight into the trash can. When I do it, I use plastic shopping bags as gloves and put the poop inside another plastic shopping bag that immediately gets tied up and put in our trash cans that live along our fence outside.
We tried the smaller can in the back and it was just a PITA and extra-stinky to open, tie off, and transfer to large can. Worse than a diaper pail!

I have three dogs and a poop service that cleans my yard every week, because it is worth it to me to not pick up Saint Bernard poop.
Before I added the dog sized as a horse, I used a pooper scooper and paper grocery bags to drop the poop in, picked up the yard the day before trash day, and tossed it out.

I can participate in dog poop threads!!
We bought a large bucket with lid from the hardware store and keep it in our side yard. We line it with a garbage bag, scoop daily, and then dump the bag in the main trash once a week.
@quesera Bella refuses to poop in her own yard too! Our dogs are weirdos! So when we take her to play we just put it in a bag and put it in the doggie disposals at the park.

I have two 8 lb. dogs, so their poop is little. We bought Eco friendly poop bags from Amazon and use them each time. Then we throw the bags in the giant trash bin we keep outside on the side of the house. Our trash gets picked up once a week.
We taught our dog to just poop in one place so that it would be easier to pick up and avoid any remnants on the grass we and our baby walked on and we also hosed his little area down every so often to cut down on some of the stink.
This is why I love country living. The dog goes deep into the woods or out in the field to poop and comes back.
But when I lived in the city, I just used a plastic bag and tied it up. It didn't bother me.
Yes. I am so excited about the new house and this is just another perk. How can I be worried about picking up dog poop when I know for a fact the amount of elk poop out on the acreage?
We bury quite a bit of ours. The dogs tend to dig when they get bored, so we occasionally have some big holes. We fill them with poop and then replace what dirt we can. This also deters the dogs from digging in the same spot.

We throw them in the neighbors yard. (sarcasm)
We pick it up, tie up the bag, and put it in a mini compost bin with the charcoal filter for the smell. It gets emptied when it fills. Our dogs are 12 lbs. and 7 lbs.

We have a pooper scooper that we pick it up with and put it in a tightly-sealed small garbage can in the far corner of the yard. You can't smell it at all. Then we empty it into our large rolling garbage bin on garbage day.
