Vienna is an amazingly clean city for its size of nearly 2 million people. However, it does have a problem with dog piles. Coming from NYC, I’m used to seeing threatening signs of clean after your dog or else a hefty fine. Here they went a different route. Vienna installed posts recently with the above sign and the free bag dispenser below it throughout the city. The sign says “Nimm ein Sackerl für mein Gackerl” (take a baggie for my crappie). On the bags are written: “Nur für Hundekotentsorgung!” (Only to be used for dog poop removal). I was skeptical at first (no way would this work in New York!), but surprise surprise… my block is looking a little bit cleaner.
