"We don't go and collect it right away when there's a post," an official from the city's environmental and sanitation department tells the paper. Instead, the map allows the authorities to keep track of problem areas, and amend the patrol routes of the city's dedicated dog mess cleaning team, known as the "uncollected poop G-men". The G-men were set up in 2012 after a string of initiatives including fines and a tax on dog owners failed to solve the problem.
