To put dog mess in a strangers bin?

Are you able to articulate where the issue lies yet?

Well the op had apparently only ever done this once and this one off was only because the bin wagon was right there ready to empty said bin.

Glad your dm made you mend your ways. Bins are for residents of the property they are parked at, not for communal use. If you saw a bench on someone's driveway or front garden would you have a quick sit if legs were aching, maybe quick grab of a hosepipe to clean muddy boots? No.

Just been out with our dog, whilst it's bin day so lots lined up I managed to hang on to a poo bag all the way to a public bin. The hardship!

I think you were perfectly reasonable as the bins were literally there about to be emptied. Obviously going on to someone’s property to use their bin would be VVU, but that’s not what you did. Ignore the insane responses- Mumsnet is bonkers. And forget the horrible shouty man.

I don’t understand why she just didn’t wait and throw it in the garbage truck. You couldn’t do that here because garbage trucks aren’t open at the back. The bins are lifted electronically and rubbish dumped in the top.

I did this once or twice when I had a dog and once my mum came on the walk and went psycho at me for doing so saying how she’d be fuming if it was her!
I, however, feel the complete opposite. There’s so much mess on the paths that I’ve contemplated buying my own bin to put on the lamppost to empty into my own bin.
Anyone (as long as it’s bagged) would be welcome to put the bags in mine. I litter pick too, so I hate rubbish and see huge amounts of bagged waste thrown in bushes.
I stopped doing it as my mum always echoed in my mind as someone with a different perspective.

I have a dog, but I wouldn’t do this no.

I’m a dog owner and would never do this. The bag might split, not get emptied out etc

I caught a woman about to put one in my bin a while ago when it was still out front from just being emptied! Athough a simple “hey that’s my bin” sufficed to embarrass her out doing it, there was no need to shout at her

We have 5 different bins. If you had put it in the wrong one, it wouldn’t get collected for another 3 weeks. I would be raging at you !

🤣

Then go worry about them. Who’s forcing you to post on this thread? Some people are so weird.

I’m not sure if you’re trying to imply my hygiene standards are low or high, or why you are so angry about the idea of a burst rubbish bag. Sure it happens occasionally and it’s bloody annoying, but the intensity of feeling you and some others are putting into it? No, I’ve got more important things to worry about.

That’s all well and lovely for you, but the majority of the population don’t have your hygiene standards. Perhaps you could put a BIG ASS sign on your bin encouraging people to dispose of their pet waste in YOUR bin. If the bag inadvertently bursts open (oh, but that will never happen because in the history of the world never has any waste bag ever burst open!), then YOU can clean it up.

All of this. My small food bin I sometimes wash out if the one of the biodegradable food waste bags has split but that's pretty rare in itself.

There's nothing that needs washing out of the main bin. Are people putting stuff in their bins in bags that are continually splitting or something?

I wouldn't mind if someone put bagged dog poo in our bin, and if it's about to be emptied then put what you like in our bins (as long as it's in the correct bin, recycling in recycling bin etc!)

I've actually had someone offer to put my dogs poo in their bin as I walked down their road and they were just putting their bin out.

Food stains? In the bin? What a travesty!

There’s no food stains in my bin, because I don’t put food in it. Food waste is bagged and in the food waste bin. Recycling is in the recycling bin. Everything else is required to be in black plastic that takes a million years to biodegrade. I don’t put sharp things in the bin either because I don’t want to harm the bin men. So no, my bin doesn’t have food stains, it doesn’t have maggots, it doesn’t ’stink to high heaven’ in any season. I don’t need to clean the bin because I behave properly in the first place. And if someone needs to dispose of a bagged dogshit, they can put it in my bin.

Some of you people are absolutely batshit.

This thread is one of the most batshit (dogshit) crazy things I've read.

It’s meant for rubbish!
In this case the rubbish was removed almost instantly.
But of course let’s trot out the usual ‘low standards’ guff to make us feel morally superior.

On balance, I lean toward YABU because it's really not up to you how fine someone else should be about having poo in their bin, no matter how briefly.

🤣🤣🤣
'Licensed waste disposal operatives'... you mean binmen?

There are some people who have maggots crawling around in their bins because they’ve never, ever washed them out. Ever. All manner of food stains and splatters in there. It doesn’t bother them though. Bins, especially during the summer, if not cleaned regularly, reek to high heaven. They, then, want to drag everyone down to that same standard by throwing dog poo in others’ bins.

I can't understand why people don't care if their bin is dirty or smelly.
I don't want something like that near my front door and that I have to interact with frequently by lifting the lid.
The more I read of other people's standards or lack of them concerning their own bins the greater my objection to anyone putting anything in my bin.
No one should touch it except this household and the licensed waste disposal operatives.

And yet you’ve still been unable to articulate why it’s so bad to use a bin for its intended purpose 😂

OK well I’m not a dog owner but either way it’s a bin so it’s for crap. And the bloke whose house it was didn’t even know it was dog shit when he shouted at the OP. So he was annoyed that she was putting ‘litter’ in his bin which is deranged.

Lol that there is so much hate to put rubbish in a bin. The bin doesn’t even belong to the home owner, it belongs to the council and it is there to control rubbish from being left in the street. I don’t mind if someone uses my bin in a pinch so I assume they won’t mind me using theirs. All this crying about the smell is a joke, like you’re spending time in there yourself? Get over it! Your rubbish stinks too.
