Definitely ignore it, anyway I would immediately be questioning the standards of anyone
who discards their rubbish in the street, whatever that might be. A disgusting, filthy habit
and totally unnecessary!

It is your rubbish so take it home with you and discard it properly in the accepted and hygienic ways!

How would you carry it home though, Baz? In your hand? In your pocket? No - doesn't bear thinking about.

Apologies to Silver Tabby and anyone else reading my post, not worded quite accurately enough.

What I meant was that the person who discarded it should have taken it home themselves and discarded it in the first instance, not the person who found it!

I've usually got a dog poo bag in a pocket, so I may pick it up, using the inside out dog poo method, and bin it. Depending on if I can bend down Otherwise I'd leave it.

I'd pick it up with one of my dog's poo bags(always got them about my person)and dispose of it in the nearest bin.The thought of someone picking it up and taking it home makes me shudder.
