January 31, 2025 (El Cajon) – After voting to repeal a long-unenforced ban on dog walking downtown, the city of El Cajon has installed “doggie pots” and poop disposal bags to help dog owners cleanup after their pets.

I wonder if homeless people will use these for their dogs that are frequently not on a leash, which is still required by law, and is a safety issue for other dogs, including people?

They have them

all over Santee. Will not matter people are afraid to bend over and pick up the poop because they feel they will get some on them and it smells bad. They don't think about how blind people pick up their dog's poop.....FYI you put your hand in the bag and pick it up, then turn bag inside out, tie in a knot and put bag in trash.simple!
