Don't throw your poo bags into people's skips

Honestly I am amazed at how anti social people can be sometimes. And those dog poo bags are a nightmare they get left all over the place! Disgusting. People can be so entitled!

What a revolting attitude you have. Disgusting.

NO! You flush poo down the toilet. You're not meant to put nappies filled with poo in the bin

Dogs shouldn't either

Have you read any of the replies? Skips aren’t bins. They are often designated for specific materials that are recycled. It’s only ‘like a bin’ if it happens to be a skip which has been designated for landfill. You’ve got no way of knowing that so it’s grim to put your dogs shit in a skip which is quite possibly destined to have its contents recycled.

You can't put dog shit in a skip. It is likely to be one of the things that is prohibited. OP and others have paid for their skips and random dirty bastards might end up causing an extra charge to be added! Completely selfish behaviour.

You do all realise that a whole host of animals probably go rummaging through the skips at night and poo in there while they are at it don't you ? And they don't put it in a bag they just walk away !

A neighbour up the road keeps posting about this on the neighbourhood Facebook page. If there are dog poo bags in it, the skip company charges him double.

My DF works in skip hire. I can promise you some of it still has to be sorted by hand. It's not a bin where the bag is removed without someone having to handle the contents. He tells me that dog poo bags are disgusting to remove.

You know when occasionally there are threads asking people who drop litter or don’t pick up after their dog or all the other disgusting antisocial habits why they do it, and everyone says there’s no point because they’re not stupid enough to admit to it? We’ve got one!

@whyhavetheygotsomany why do you do those things, and does it bother you even a little bit that everyone else thinks it’s vile and would happily see you banned from society for it?

My neighbours all seem to really like me actually

If you read the Terms and Conditions of skip hire you will see that animal waste is prohibited, so those of you who think it's ok cause it's just a big bin may actually cost the skip hirer money if the company charge them.

I am a dog owner, and I consider this to be filthy behaviour. Poo should be picked up, put in a proper poo bin when available, or taken home to dispose of if it isn't. Putting poo in someone else's skip, or wheelie bin, is horrible.

And it’s because of obnoxious selfish shit-dumping arseholes that people go to so much trouble.

Oh and take your dog shit home next time FFS, I feel sorry for anyone who lives near you if this is your attitude.

Someone needs to explain to her how drains actually work. Unless it's a victorian drain and there's heavy rain then yes it does all end up in the same place - raw sewage in rivers and we are all OK with that aren't we? Seeing sanitary towels, condoms and loo roll hanging off the vegetation on river banks. Lovely

@whyhavetheygotsomany
The builders did it, not me..it was part of the service.
And I'm glad they did, as it saved some poor soul clearing the skip the job of sorting actual shit from the rubble

Yes, but while there are selfish twats out there chucking poo bags at skips, it seems necessary. Can you think of another solution? Maybe one which involves taking your actual shit home?

That's a lot of bother to keep out a poo bag.

Having spent nearly 3 yrs renovating and multiple skips OP, I understand! Am I correct that your skip is contained inside your back garden with a fence separating people from it, and people are lobbing it over your fence???
Ours was at the front of the property, next to a massive bramble hedge. Every day I'd find poo bags hanging from bramble thorns where people had thrown the shit bags and missed.
I bought cheap, fake cameras from ebay which had a flashing red light and added a CCTV sign. Also one that said 'SMILE, you are on camera' and the poo bags stopped!

Our builders used a big tarp type thing to cover it, it was sort of a deterrent really. It was a bit of extra hassle to cover at the end of the day but it looked sealed up so people didn't put anything in it or on it. It did work as they would have had to really burrow under it to get anything in there! I think they used thick string/rope to tie it down.

And I totally agree, it's awful behaviour!

It would be perfectly reasonable to put a nappy in a bag in a skip too.

No, it wouldn't, the contents are sorted by actual people, they don't need random shits to deal with.

Yes of course I put it in my bin when I pick it up from the garden. It goes in a bag then it goes in the OUTSIDE bin till rubbish day.

Are you the one putting dog shit in OP's skip? 😅

It would be perfectly reasonable to put a nappy in a bag in a skip too. Honestly this is crazy. I would never ever leave dog poo on the floor it's picked up and put in a bin. Might not be my bin but it's put in a bin...or skip
