Why would you think it is okay to put dog shit in someone's bin?

I suppose it depends on where you live. Our landfill bins are emptied once a fortnight and there's no odour problem provided the contents are properly bagged. (Cans, etc go into the green bin and we're asked to rinse them out.) It's a bit different when someone chucks a bag of dog excrement into the mix.

What a strange comparison.

I expect any visitor to my home - including workmen - to be able to use our bathroom. I don't expect to find excrement in my bin, however, since that's not its purpose. There are plenty of public bins available for dog waste. Dog owners don't need to chuck the waste into the bins (or gardens as often happens round here) of others.

The fact that some dog owners dispose of their dog's waste as soon as they can instead of carrying it until they can dispose of it at home or in a municipal bin marked for the purpose rather underlines the fact that their main concern is their own convenience.

Did you see my photo up thread as to what this means in reality?

Wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. I’d much rather someone used my bin than left it in the street. Bins stink anyway.

Perfectly calm, thanks. I just think, like many, many others on this thread, that the poster is in the wrong.

Bins are dirty and smelly anyway,

Not all bins are 'dirty and smelly' in the way you mean - depends on who is using it and how. We have a waste disposal unit so have no wet vegetable matter or rotting meat/fish in the bin at all. Anything that might be seriously smelly gets double bagged. We take care to ensure the bin is not filled with stuff likely to attract flies or maggots. So someone chucking in a bag of dog poo is actually making a bin that is not full of any faecal matter or anything that smelly immediately 100 times more dirty and smelly.

With the recycling, we take care to rinse/wash all empty food cartoons and leave them to air dry before putting them in the recycling. So the recyling bin is always dry and as clean as possible.

People look after things differently.

actually i think that is fair enough

I'm not the OP but this is a photo I have just taken of our bin. I only cleaned it out a couple of weeks ago. I think you can see in the pic, but the top right corner is a whole mound of slushy dog poo that is not in a bag. Either someone lobbed in a bag or two untied or the bags split and it's leaked out everywhere. Someone also since yesterday has seen fit to chuck a plant pot in.

So yes, people really are that filthy and disgusting and I am the one who has to clean it up. ETA- my image is under review so hope it appears soon

Dog poo bags are the responsibility of the dog owner. If they can’t be bothered to locate one of the numerous appropriate bins or take it home to bury it in the garden then perhaps they should be fined heavily.

It depends on the bags, they can and do split. We used to use biodegradable doggy bags for scooping the litter tray when we had a cat and they sometimes split coming off the roll. Obviously we then double bagged but it did happen. They were quite thick bags so I can definitely imagine thinner ones splitting

I’ve often been tempted to put it in someone’s bin that is out and full (so about to be emptied) but I can’t even bring myself to do that in case I upset someone! 🤣

My guess, OP, is that they keep their own bin outside and don’t bother with keeping it clean, so it doesn’t cross their mind it would be inconvenient and unpleasant for someone else. Either that to they’re simply selfish and obnoxious and know, but just don’t care.

I understand the temptation though. Carrying a bag of poo around is naturally unpleasant, so if there’s a bin where I’m allowed to throw it, it’s always nicer. Just a pity there are some people who don’t respect other people’s property.

Should have taken a pic because no way did two poo bags “burst” on impact! And leakage…. Not unless they literally stood over the bin and emptied the bags. Dog owners will know that leakage from poo bags let alone two separate ones just doesn’t happen

No, if you've taken them into your front garden they are no longer fair game. Just saying how it is round here.

I think there are probably a couple of poo bags at the bottom of my bin, or there were a while back. I never look. I just chuck my bin bags in and close the lid. I haven't died from my own scummyness yet.

Ask a neighbour to bring yours in with theirs. You can collect when you get home.
If you explain the problem (which they are prob already aware of) I’m sure they’ll help.

Our bins are next to our garden gate and we live on a very narrow private road that the bin lorry can't get down easily, so the council sends out a little lorry with a mesh back on it that can fit. This lorry does not have those mechanical arms that lift the bin and tosses everything in. So the bin men pick out the rubbish bags themselves. We have people putting their dog poo bags in and the bin men just lift out the large bags at which point the dog poo falls to the bottom. I actually yesterday went to try and get a bin lock because the bins were emptied friday and I counted 6 dog poo bags left behind at the bottom which then have to be cleaned out by me. This happens every week and you can bet it pisses me off because it's filthy. I have even squeezed the bins into our garden behind the gate which makes access and egress really hard and people still feel it's right and proper to enter my property and dump their bloody bags.

You really shouldn’t be putting anything in anyone else’s bin!

The poster is saying that they put it In bins that were outside awaiting on collection on bin day

calm down

Both bags have “burst”?

really? Did they fire them in there?

Can't believe you admitted to doing this. You're in the wrong here.

My bin sure doesn't smell.

Dog owner here. I would never do this and wouldn’t at any point want anyone else’s bagged dog poo in my bin. Disgusting.
OP, you’re not being unreasonable, the gravity lock being mentioned sounds like a solution.

It’s not ok at all and is utterly revolting. When I had dogs I wouldn’t even put their poo in my bins I always used a public rubbish bin. My bins are mine. They don’t belong to the council. I paid for them.

That’s grim and not on. I walked home from school with my daughter and we both had ice creams from the ice cream man (it’s relevant, honest!) she had a cone and I had one of the little paper tubs with a spoon. She was very smug she had no rubbish and I had nowhere to put this empty tub -no public bins on this route but lots of people’s wheelie bins on pavement as it had been bin day.

I did contemplate putting it in one of the bins but thought it was too cheeky so dog shit is an absolute no no!
