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.

[hhmm] Jesus.... IF there are things I do give a shit about I could name change!? - I know it is radical, a bit racy and nearly unheard of, but that?s just how I roll. [hhmm]

I don't understand. I thought they must have just flung it in there with no bag, but it's in a bag in a bin. I cannot possibly imagine caring. I also get my rubbish collected every other week but still. Who sniffs their bin?

And why won't the OP come back and explain more?! I'm more eeeeugh about the lack of desire to wash their hands again. Surely there's going to be at least a couple more hand washes before bedtime?

sorry, did you expect a serious answer to that stupid question

Stop apologising Mrs.

If you have a black bin collection every other week like we do, I'd be a bit annoyed to have a bag of someone else's dog shit festering for 2 weeks. Why couldn't she take it and put it on her bin/a specific dog poo bin?
I don't have dogs but had them growing up and my parents would either take it home (in a bag!) or put it in the dog poo bins.

Though I have a 5 month old and have shitty nappies in mine so I guess a bit of dog poo won't make much difference!

And another thing, why don't people who use disposable nappies shake the poo down the loo? It seems to be something that people don't even think about - but why not??

I used to do the poo shaking into the loo Mintyy when mine were little. Please tell me that still happens.

I once went to my bin, that was standing upright mind you with the lid on, and there was a rat running around the bottom, just round and round in circles.

The only way it got in there was if someone had put it there! I would have preferred shit tbh!

also had my bins stolen once, this is in Birmingham, so no wheelie bins, and we had big metal bin type things, should have known better tbh, came home one day, they had emptied the rubbish round the side of the garage and stole the bins. I reckon it was the same scrap metal ppl who had been annoyed with me the week before as i would not let them have the gate, as they were off, as we were getting the fences replaced.

Shit in a bag in my bin would have been ok. It is a bin kept outside that has more rubbish in. You are hardly a "custodian of poop" unless there was a note attached with care instructions.

I'd rather it was in a bin than left on the pavement, which is the other option, it's in a bag, get over yourself

Depends how the rubbish is collected, I think. We have to take the black bags out into the street as the bins themselves aren't provided by the council and everyone has their own. I don't want to fish out any lone items to put them in with the rest of the rubbish, never mind a bag of dogshit. I manage to smear the outside of my own dog's poo-bags at least 20% of the time so I know that lifting them out isn't always the most sanitary operation.

If the bins were lifted straight onto the bin lorry, there's no way I'd notice anything foreign lurking in there. Other than your rat, Mad.

Bizarrely I would have no problem with anyone else putting bagged dog poo in my bin, I would much rather it was there than on the street, but there is no way on earth I would put my dogs poo in anyone elses bin

The other day I ate a KitKat on the way home and passed a whole street of wheelie bins on collection day but couldn't actually bring myself to put the wrapper in anyones elses bin, it felt like an intrusion

Serious question. Those people who are saying its 'disgusting' and 'rude' and so on - why?

I'm a pretty polite person, generally thoughtful and caring towards others, but I don't get how this is rude or disgusting or wrong. Really I don't.

A bagged dog shit, the size of a fist, that won't smell (or at least no more than any other rotting rubbish), in a bin, that lives outside, that is emptied every 2 weeks (by other people wearing protective clothing).

I don't get why this is an issue to some people

(nor do I get SparklingBrook and her PA posts, but that doesn't interest me as much)

Shit in bins, wrapped up or not, is disgusting! Don't you think? I assume you are a dog owner and that is why you are so unphased by it.

But those of us who choose not to own dogs don't want to be confronted by dog poo in our wheelie bins.

My bin does not smell ... I compost all garden waste and food waste is taken away by the council. And I have it washed every 6 weeks too.

How can you not think its disgusting and rude? that's what I want to know.

its a bin, that where waste goes.

But if it is so very ok, and the woman lives 2 minutes away, why isn't she taking her own dogs' dog shit home to put it in her own wheelie bin?

Yeah we have dogs and their poo makes our wheelie bin stink, it would really burn my britches to have someone else's dog's poo stinking up my bin if I didn't have dogs and I had to smell it every time I opened the bin... and ours gets collected once a week. I can't imagine how ripe it would be after a fortnight.

It is a bin. Rubbish goes in bins. I really don't get the problem.

"confronted" by dog poo? What? It is in a bag. It's not going to contaminate your bin. And even if it did...it is a bin.

Having your bin washed every 6 weeks is taking cleanliness way too far. The bin is presumably outside.

I really could not bring myself to get upset about the inner cleanliness of an outside bin.

Disgusting.

My sons neighbour used to put her rubbish in his bin until he drilled a hole in the lid and the bin and padlocked it!

In my world poo goes down the toilet or in dog poo bins in the park. I choose not to put poo in my bin so allow me to not want anyone else putting poo in my bin either! IABU and neither is the op. Gavel.

Yes, Esme, rubbish goes in bins. Dog shit does not!

Those people who are saying it is no big deal, are you reading the posts where people are saying that only rubbish in bags is collected in their areas. Do you really think it is acceptable that someone should have to reach in the bottom of a manky bin and pull out that bag of shit and re-bag it in a black bag?

What if it bursts as others have said and you now have shit all over your bin? Is that ok?

Just because it is better than having it left somewhere else does not make it ok. Yes it is better than having poo left lying around but that doesn't make either right.

Saying gavel does not equal winning an argument.

I can't bring myself to care that the inside of a bin, where rubbish goes, might get a bit dirty. Oh no, the rest of my rubbish might get dirty too.

SOB.

I am not having an argument, I am having my say.

I wash all my rubbish and cover it in glitter, fairy dust and essence of rose petals'

I thought everyone did this?

Rubbish doesn't deserve to be left dirty, rubbish has feelings too

Is it April fools?

No?

Weird.....
