Yesterday I noticed the street cleaner/waste bin emptier person spending his time having to rip all the bags off a tree where they had been tied to branches. It is on a known dog walk path and it seems to be happening time and again. Is the message to clean up after your pooch? I don't know, I don't get it. Surely they are making litter of their own and causing more work into the bargain
Not a complaint as such and not a pleasant subject but I just don't get what goes through some people's minds to want to spend their time to tie (clean) dog poo bags to the branches of trees.
Yes.

Some people are selfish idiots, pure and simple.
There is no excuse - none - for not picking up and properly disposing of your dog's waste.
We have Robidogs* readily accessible - use them. It's as simple as that.
Here I have to call on fellow dog owners to use the art of moral suasion. When you see someone not picking up, or leaving their bag in a tree for the 'poo fairy' to deal with, call that person on it. Irresponsible idiots tar us all with their bad behaviour.
*And whatever the new bins are called.
Umm, OP mentioned that the bags are 'clean', not full of poo.
Most likely as a service for those to lazy to have one on hand.

Oops.
Time for a visit to the Augenarzt methinks.
I've not see clean poo bags in trees, only the full ones - which for the life of me I can't understand as it's more trouble to tie a bag to a tree than toss it in the Robidog. Makes my blood boil.
Are the clean bags in trees along routes with sparse Robidog coverage? What a strange thing to do...
Most people round here simply tie a bag to their lead, that way you always have the necessary to hand.
We shouldn't forget the safety risk for dogs.
It might happen that a dogs walks under a tree, the bags falls and the dog may have severe injuries.
To protect the dogs for such dangers, I would recommend to take such bags home if you see them.
Yes, there are clean dog bags tied to a tree. Along about a 800m path there are 2 robidogs and 2 litter bins. That's why I think it's so daft for the culprits to tie clean bags to trees. It just ain't necessary.
It could also just be some stupid youngsters playing a prank...
I also quite often see "full" dog bags on the street.... Why....WHY??? Recently I see more and more poo left on or on the side of the street, but never caught anyone who left it there...
My path to lunch goes through a path beloved by dog walkers.
Almost every day I find a full dog bag placed right in the middle of the pedestrian bridge. There's a bin 5 meters away, in both directions.
It gives an unbelievable bad look to dog owners. But I guess if you are cheeky enough to leave a plastic bag full of dog poo right next to a kindergarten school, you really don't care about how your tribe will be perceived by others...
I also find empty plastic bags tied to the trees around here. I took for granted it's there for people who forgot their own.
i see this everywhere in basel and wondered whether it was the accepted way to dispose of it??
Its the Pussy Riot protest. The Revolution cometh.
I see poop bags (with poop) in the middle of the walking path where I live, too. I'm assuming someone picked up someone else's dog's poop and left it there as a passive aggressive way of reminding dog owners to pick up their dog's poop. It's pretty effing lazy to leave poop on a path when there are SO many poop bag "stations" and garbage cans around!
The worst is full bags left in the middle of walking/cycling tracks. They might quite an impressive, and offensive, pattern when you inadvertently ride over them with your 2.5 inch MTB tyres .
