Over by the dog walk area, I found my n'hood dog poop bag dispenser knocked over and broken into pieces, probably by a truck.
I don't have a dog, but I can fix it without much trouble.
It has a metal box to dispense plastic bags, and a metal cylinder with a bunch of holes (to save weight?) to accept used bags, and the whole thing is mounted to a metal pole.
The cross section of the metal pole is like an omega except with no curves, just right angles __ _| |_
I don't know what this kind of post is called. What???
It has a hole every inch or two and is designed to snap off at the hole, which it did.
When I pound it into the ground again, how deep should it go into the ground?????
It was probably about 5 feet tall before, but it doesn't have to be any particular height.
The box that holds the empty bags weighs very little but the cylinder seems heavier, 5 or 10 pounds?. Plus the weight of all that poop, although much of it seems to be candy bar wrappers, paper cups, etc. makes 8 or 12 pounds? Plus 2 pounds for the box and whatever the post itself weighs.
There are two lengths bolted together now. If you tell me what the post is called, I might consider buying a replacement bottom piece to make it the same height, but I'd still need to know how much to pound into the ground.
Thanks.
