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

We're having work done on the house. The skip is outside the back door, and the wall between the back door and the house has been demolished for access. There is temporary metal fencing which clearly shows the skip is on our property.

We live along a lane which is popular with dog walkers. Today I opened the back door to take laundry out and nearly stepped in the poo bag someone had lobbed over the fence towards our skip and obviously missed.

Even if it had gone in the skip, it doesn't get emptied every week. So, as soon as something heavy (like construction materials) was placed on top of the poo bag, that's going to go everywhere, and stink. And probably make it harder to retrieve usable construction materials.

What is wrong with people? Don't put your literal shit on other people's property (oh and actually pick it up and take it home with you/put it in a designated bin regardless).

IABU: totally fine to just throw dog shit anywhere, as long as it's in a bag

IANBU: don't throw actual shit onto other people's property. Or anywhere except a bin or your own house (where you can do what you like with it)

Humans don't poo in the street though

Unfortunately, some do 🤮.

I live 5 min walk from McDs and during the first lockdown when they were fully closed, I on my first walk after getting Covid and saw a man walking past McDs with his dog and popped a dog poo bag in one of the McDs bins! Yet a council bin opposite!

Those McD bins didn’t get emptied until they reopened the drive thrus. So that poo was festering in that bin for 2 months plus. Yet council bins 2-3 days

Festering in a bag In a bin
Shock horror

With a skip it’s not ok - but I do sometimes wonder when it’s bin day and wheelie bins are out if it would be ok, I just haven’t dared in case it’s rude. On the other hand, I would have 0 issue in someone putting their dog poo bag in my bin 🤷🏻‍♀️

No, but I do have a child in nappies and I'm not putting those in the skip for... obvious reasons to anyone but you.

It's not a bin.

And even if it was, it's not your bin.

You want a dog, deal with it's shit in a way that doesn't negatively impact the rest of society.

Absolutely disgusting. About as disgusting as the vile dog owners who hang bags of dog shit off the shrubs in my front garden, my garden has a path running alongside. There's even a public bin 30 seconds walk away. Yet another reason for me to despise dogs, or rather dogs that have dreadful owners.

It's a bin calm down. I always do this when I'm on a walk it's very convenient saves me holding on to it till we get to the park

There are dog shit bins for a reason. I don't think there are dog shit skips.

If you wouldn't stick human poo in a skip don't put dog poo in a skip. If you would but human poo in a skip then all hope is lost.

The contents of skips are sorted and recycled wherever possible. Some of this must be done by hand. It is NOT a bin.

You should stop doing this, it's antisocial.

@whyhavetheygotsomany I guess if you're so sure of yourself maybe next time you could do the courtesy of asking if you could put dog shit in people's skips? Or knock on the door to let someone know you'd attempted to put shit in their skip and accidentally left it on their doorstep?

I never leave it on the step I always hit the target im well practised by now

coldcallerbaiter · 06/06/2024 21:04

I do not believe in letting dogs poo and pick up in bags. Poo is left as remnants on the ground. We are all walking this shit around.

They should invent a diaper for them and it can be bagged and put in a bin.

if possible less dogs, a lot less. It’s heaven going in holiday to countries or places with far less dogs.

TellerTuesday · 06/06/2024 21:03

Vile!! Imagine the poor sods at the skip hire depot who then have to sort through it all for disposal.

Agree with a PP who said that dog owners are a different breed. One woman used to walk down our road and push her dog's poo (in a bag) down the drain..... just why would you think that was ok?? Every day she used to do it, sometimes numerous times, any time anyone challenged her she used to shout "fuck off, it all ends up in the same place" I honestly dread to think what she used to put down her toilet at home

DH does this when a skip is parked in the street and I've watched lots of neighbors doing it as well.
I don't know why!

Have you told him its disgusting and giving you the ick?

Rebusmyfire · 06/06/2024 20:58

I thought the contents of skips are checked pnce removed from.your property, stuff removed for metal, recycling etc... so if loads of exploding poo bags it makes totally grim....

Exactly, it's really unfair on those who do this job.

It's gross.

Skip contents often need to be shifted about Tetris-style as the skip is filled; then the workers who sort the waste later need to separate out what's recyclable etc. (gone are the days of it all going to landfill). Contaminating recyclables is literally shitty behaviour.

Take your shit home with you or put it in a public bin. It's utterly disgusting to leave poo on someone else's property. What is wrong with you?!
