The only thing to do is pick it up, put it in a bag and try again next week. Wear gloves so you don’t get Hep A. Look out for needles. It once took 6 weeks for a big beef bone I was trying to throw out to actually get hauled away. I got tired of that kind of nonsense and moved out of the city. My trash gets picked up by 9am twice a week with no issues now.

Feces and needles are things I refuse to deal with because of the biohazard element (also clothes, because, hey, Kensington, heroin does weird things to bowels). I tend to nag my landlord about that, which sort of works. Although I had the fun(?) of coming home to a needle disposal box dumped next to our steps. Literally hundreds of little orange caps. Luckilly(?) no trace of dirty needles, so I could deal with it.
Also, a friendly warning to Kensington people who might be reading this - get your Hep A vaccine. It's actually really easy to accidentally get Hep A around here, if you're cleaning up. Human feces doesn't always stay recognizable, and can become dust that scatters on the ground. A friend of mine who gardens in the area contracted it.
