To not want dog shit in my skip?

skipinmyskip · 05/07/2012 19:36

We have a skip in our front drive at the moment as we are having work done. It is pretty full, but over the past few days I have noticed a number of 'foreign objects' appearing. Dog walkers are throwing their shit filled poop bags in! As I said, the skip is pretty full, so they are balancing on top of the debris and greet me everytime I walk in my driveway.

Would it be too much to expect the owner of the dog to carry it home rather than basically throw it in my drive?

How do I get them to stop this (skip will be there for a number of weeks)? I suspect I know who it is. I am tempted to put up a sign telling them to stop!

Eww stick a sign on the skip. Stop dumping you dog poo in my skip!

Sign saying 'we paid to hire this to get rid of OUR shit, not yours. Happy to return it thru your letterbox if yo keep dumping yours here. '

Agrees with WhirlyByrd Good sign!

I hate that when I lock my front gate next door's bloody dog keeps getting in and shitting on my lawn.

WhirlyByrd, I think I'll borrow that sign idea of yours and semi re-word it for my next door neighbour.

I do like the idea of a sign, but the only thing is that our house is near the start of the street into our estate and we get a decent amount of foot traffic....I don't want everyone sniggering at us!

YABU

It is a full skip, presumably it is going to be collected in the near future.

As long as they pick up their dog poo and dispose of it, I think you need to loosen your grip on a rubbish bin....

God, I hate dog owners who do stuff like this - it gives every one a bad name.
I pick up after my dog, if he has an accident while walking him & I put it in the appropiate bin provided by the council. I train him to use a corner of our garden & it really annoys me to see dog shit when I'm out with my kids, even worse those that pick up and then leave a lovely package of dog shit hanging in plastic - WHY!!

skipinmyskip · 05/07/2012 20:57

Jenny were it a rubbish bin, I would be less bothered, as they generally have a lid. But as it is everytime I walk up my drive I see bags full of dog shite. As I said in my OP, the skip is going to be there for a number of weeks (prob another 5 or 6). It will be a shit mountain in no time

Jenny - they haven't disposed of it properly though, they have just left it in someone else's drive. The people opposite have had a skip on their drive for months now and I would hate to think of weeks and weeks worth of dog mess in there.
