what if my syphon isnt strong enough to pick up the poo.

I guess you will need a straw and a strong stomach then.

What kind of fish are in the tank?

I have to agree with Lucy on the . Whew tummy still rolling and I do not have a weak stomach don't know why that bothered me. Anyway back to your problem tweezers maybe. Maybe you don't have enough vacuum on your siphon. I know with mine when I had oscars I had to make sure that I had a good "fall" with my hose from the tank to the floor. Sometimes would have to get the hose a lot lower than the tank to get it to pull up oscar poo.

the trash can i use for dumping is on the floor.

(I'm so childish when it comes to the word 'poo', never ceases to make me smie)

Anyways.....
Larger siphon, large turkey baster, rubber gloves and a scoop (?)

i thought the name would get alot of people to read it therefor more advise. anyone have a large fish with large poo please reply about how you get it out.

Cat poop scoop! just scoop the gravel like a litter box!

maybe a reverse undergravel filter? it pushes water out instead of sucking it in, and can push the waste up into the aquarium where you could net it out
