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

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.

The government scrape bits off the bin men and run a huge DNA database. I think.

YANBU

Crisp packet, beer cans fine. But someone else's dog poo? In my mind dog poo comes close to human poo in the stench but it ranks 1st place. my bins have altered taken every 2 weeks, so if that dog poop was in the bin for that amount of time yes it would break down and leave moisture, and a lasting stench even after it was emptied out.

I would have to clean it out, which btw I do anyway. But the point is why should I clean dog stench out? I never chose to have a dog. Use the public bin please, but if there isn't one available double wrap it and use my bin rather than my footpath sighs...( I'm a pushover lol)

Ps. Does ur council clean your bins with a hose? When I was a student in Leicester I remember the council doing just that with a fancy lorry all kitted out. I was all oos and ahs, but I haven't seen it in the west midland or the place I now call home edinburgh. All the taxes they get off us they darn well should!

It's not illegal to flush dog poo down the toilet - I checked. In fact, it's recommended on some of the sites I just looked at. You mustn't put it in a recycling bin though, because it contaminates the waste and renders it unusable.

Blimey, I need to get out from underneath this baby more...

PickledFanjoCat · 02/11/2012 20:30

I put cat poo and baby poo down there.

I poo in my wheelie bin though I like the fresh air.

Do you have a home-made bidet in the form of a garden hose too?

Anonymumous · 02/11/2012 20:32

Yes I know! Grin

Fedup my laptop is broken and I've had to wait for DH to come home so I can use his. Look at the stupid time I was up with the original post.

I've read all 20 pages of replies, thought provoking, uplifting, some have had me in tears laughing.

I cann't get involved in the bin/car comparision thing. I have epilepsy so don't have a car.

If I had any unicorn hair, I wouldn't throw it away.

DH used to buy wheelie bins and refuse trucks as part of his job. Think I can safely say binmen are unlikely to touch any packets of poo lurking at the bottom of the bin.

I did not know that my rubbish belongs to the Council once inside my bin. So if I restrieve it, am I stealing my stuff back?

MadBanners hilarious and sums it up. As its half term I've been having a blitz on my house. Thorough cleaning = lots of hand washing and full up wheelie. Wheelie emptied and as said couldn't be arsed to drag bin up the garden path and wash hands again. I've since filled my bin again to the top with heavy sacks and I am concerned shit bag will burst as MadBanners describes and I've have to clean to dog shitty bin. If I am wrong and dog poop bags are as strong as several posters say then I suppose I am being abit unreasonable.

Do MNers all agree that nappies are never ok? I've never had a random nappy forced upon me. For the record, when my 2 kids were in nappies I shook their poo down the loo where ever possible. And my Mum banned me from leaving a nappy in her bin (even just a wee), all nappies had to go home with me. Sits back to have Brew

brycie you are proving to be highly entertaining tonight with your worries about poo smeared bin men. I sincerely hope your tongue is firmly in your cheek otherwise I'm worried about your levels of worry.

Who's there?

A bag of dog runip.

Brycie · 02/11/2012 23:31

Anonymous: I did say about the bin owners too. But nobody cares about the bin owners either.

Bumdrop · 02/11/2012 23:39

OOOOH !!
Somebody picked up dog poo, and put it in my bin (bagged up)

Well ..... Dont leave your bin out in the street and make the street look ugly
Scruff !!!

PickledFanjoCat · 02/11/2012 23:42

Brycie you made me care!

I've been worrying about bin men all night!

BreconBeBuggered · 02/11/2012 23:55

Bugger the bin men. Do they pick up my bin and empty it into the lorry? No. So it's handier for me if you leave the little dogshit bag on my front step, then I don't have to try and fish it out of my bin, you bunch of bastards.

Wallison · 03/11/2012 00:05

I haven't read the whole thread (although looking at some of the comments on here I think I will have to) but what drives me nuts about dog-owners is the way they bag up their filthy shitting hounds' poo all carefully ... and then leave the fucking bag in the middle of the street. What the hell is that all about?

nahla321 · 03/11/2012 09:27

Gheeze what are some of you lot, the poo police?! As long as it gets in a bin does it really matter who/what/why/were/when? I give up I really do.

QuinionsRainbow · 03/11/2012 12:15

You're lucky the plastic poo-bag went into a bin. Around here, the common fate of bagged dog-poo is to be hung up in a bush or tree. Not exactly biodegradeable!

FromEsme · 03/11/2012 12:29

Yes, WHY do people bag it up and put it in a tree? WHY? You've done the rank bit, why not just follow through (as it were) to the bitter end and put it in a bin. Someone else's bin for starters, but maybe work up to a council bin if you want to be super polite.

It is something that I have only started seeing in the last year or two.

Brycie · 03/11/2012 12:35

I'm not worried as such; but when I'm carrying a bag of dog poo I wouldn't put it in someone's bin in case a bag of rubbish was put on it and it burst, and the poo went on the owner/binman/whoever.

Brycie · 03/11/2012 12:36

That was a reponse to schnauzer.
