It's not OK to put your dog crap in my wheelie bin

[fortifiedwithtea]

The bin men have changed our collection time its now late afternoon. DD2 and I went to the post office and when we came back bin emptied. All good so far. DD2 asks are we going to take the bin in but because I couldn't be arsed to wash my hands yet again, I said no leave it. Then I forgot about it until next morning.

Next morning went to retrieve bin and throw a black sack in and there in the bottom was ...... a package of dog poo.

Why?

If I wanted dog poo in my bin, I'ld have my own bloody dog. I am now the custodian of poop for a week. Why should I be just because I didn't take my bin in quick enough.

I suspect it was the woman who deliberately brings her greyhounds to the small greenward in front of my house to let her dogs have a crap and piss up the cherry trees. She lives about 2 minutes walk away. I suppose the doggy brigade will say be thankful she bags her dogs poo. So why then be so inconsiderate as to dump it in my bin.

Yes I'm annoyed.

So me posting for the same length of time as you - in fact a lot less - is a crusade? What does that make you? A fanatic?

I shall henceforth be sterilising all my rubbish. DD is six months now so the steriliser was going to be rather redundant.

Brycie what do you do with other unpleasant things? e.g. meat, sanitary products, dirty nappies?

If it's anything less than wrap them in 50 extra strong bin bags, I'm sorry but I am going to lose my equanimity at you and tell you that you don't care about bin men.

Oh and my step dad said he would never know if there is shit in the bin as all he does is drag the bin out and hook it on the truck and then put it back.

I cannot believe I just phoned him and asked him that FFS.

Im afraid i have to completely agree with you op, i have 2 dogs and when they poo i pick it up and deposit it in my own bin and if that means i have to tie it to the bottom of my double buggy while i finish my walk (however long that may be) then so be it. Dog mess even in fragrenced nappy sacks still smells and as you say if you wanted poo in your bin then you would get a dog! And as for owners who don't pick up i report them, it gives responsible owners a bad name. :)

Tantrums did you actually? This thread is really something.

The thing that makes me laugh most is that it's not even about any of US throwing something in a bin. I probably just wouldn't bother, because I'd just put it in my own bin at home (where obviously it could still go on a bin man but that's beside the point.)

People are irate because I wouldn't care about someone else putting something in my bin!

And I don't even HAVE a bin! I live in shared accommodation and the housekeeping put out the bins.

So I have no idea why I've spent my day off sick arguing about this.

Tantrums it's good to get expert info in these critical situations.

Brycie what happens if the poo is bagged and in the bin bag and the bin bag breaks and the poo bag breaks. It could happen

I really did. It was a bizarre conversation.

I am actually amazed that I am defending the point that I don't actually give a fuck who puts shit in my bin.

Tantrums I KNOW.

I have a ton of work to do, that is the only reason I can think of for why I've stayed on this thread for so long.

Evening all

i had my brown garden waste bin left one week.....i had put it out and i knew it contained only garden waste....when i picked it up (from the end of the terrace....we have to leave the bins at the very end of the street) some fucker had decided to put a beer can on the top.

I was a little cross. so i phoned the council and i was told they had refused it cos of the can....i explained because we have to drag these bloody bins all the way down the terrace to the area where they are picked up and left, i have no power over complete knob heads who think its ok to put their rubbish in garde waste bins and the bin men shouldve used their discretion.

well i must be grateful the can wasnt left on the the street

Brycie please, I really need to go and do some work and I want to know how you protect bin men from such filth as rotting meat, sanitary protection and dirty nappies.

I also think you sort of owe me an apology for making out that I'm some sort of ivory tower dweller who doesn't care about bin men.

the op says WHEELIE BIN refuse collection operatives tend not to handle the waste from a wheelie bin let alone smear them on each other

hth

WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE BINMEN

Why is it so important to care about bin men, but not bin owners? Are they a different, more delicate species?

MN is extraordinary. At first when I stumbled upon this thread, I thought the OP WNBU. I'm no dog fan and dog poo makes me gag and I thought the idea of putting your dog's crap in someone else's bin was wholly reprehensible. Surely you should just hold on to the bag of crap and put it in your own bin? But then I carried on reading and thinking and coming back to the thread. And now I have completely changed my mind and become a little more unclenched in the process too! I literally couldn't give a shit where the shit goes as long as it's in a bag.

Welcome to the side of sanity and reason Avon!

Those poor poor bin men.

They apply for jobs, emptying bins, and there's fucking rubbish in them, in bags.

Fucking disgusting.

My old mans a dustman
He wears a dustmans hat
He wears cor blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

Think of him you bastard bastards that put rubbish in your bastard bloody bins.

I am confused as to why so many people think poo bags suddenly explode or burst leaving the inside of the bin smeared in poo! I have never seen this happen, never!
I need a drink after catching up on the last 13 pages, where is the OP?

My dad says he sits in the bins sometimes in the nude and that's how the poo gets on him.

Fed Up the OP is wrestling the bag of poo in her bin
