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.

i ahve never scraped poo off a nappy other than when i briefly used washable ones for ds1, they had a liner (that was flushable) and i would lift that and put the whole thing in the toilet, but i discovered disposables and no very rarely have a tipped the poo into the toilet. when they are little its far too liquid anyway and dd is now 22mths they arent that solid and are often squashed into the nappy, squidgy etc, it woudl be revolting [boak]

my eldest was 1999 and ds2 was 2002 and i was never told i should tip the poo, was it some kind of offical advice?

We have these in our area. No need to clean bins yourself.

Rules?!
I probably would have ignored them even if I had heard them I really cannot wait for dc2 to be potty trained, I have had coming up to three constant years of changing nappies now

I have never ever washed out a wheelie bin either. We have a company who comes and does it for you for £3.50 per wash. Cheers .

Brycie in all my years of bin ownership, I have never once been smeared in any of its contents.

What the hell do you people DO in your bins?

Goodness. You're easily amused.

YANBU.I have a dog and wouldn't dream of putting the bags in a bin other than my own or a designated dog waste bin. Bins aren't the most fragrant of items,but they certainly smell far worse than a bin sans dog poop,even when bagged up. I have to put cat and dog waste in mine,and the stench is awful.

You shouldn't put anything in a bin that doesn't belong to you,that person may need every bit of space,and if a few people do it it soon builds up. If you can't get to a bin and have to walk for an hour holding the poop bag then that's too bad.It's part of being a dog owner.

Then the man from the company could get smeared in dog poo. Cheap at the price.

Yes Esme: taking a bag out of the bin to take to the dump I've got stuff from the outside of the bag on my jeans.

whispers try 13 years and counting of nappies! i am hoping to train dd next summer and oh how i will do a happy dance when i no longer have to change nappies, or buy them!

rubbish goes in a bag in the bin, sometimes black bags, othertimes i just use up carrier bags that i have around, a bag is a bag.

"If you can't get to a bin and have to walk for an hour holding the poop bag then that's too bad.It's part of being a dog owner."

A refreshingly normal view. But hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! to some.

Yeah, I've seen wheelie bin cleaners, but if I had the spare cash it would be used to pay someone to clean the inside of my house, not the inside of an outside bin which I must spend a maximum of 30 seconds a week peering into

Brycie so you put bags into your bin and then take them out again. I am confused.

A bag of dog poo is outside a bin bag and could burst, smearing the contents over the inside of the bin and the outside of a bin bag, thus to be transferred to the bin man, the owner, the owner's child, and so on. I guess maybe some people don't mind the possibility of being smeared with dog poo. It's the only conclusion one can reach.

Pray tell, where dog shit should go then?? If not in a bag and then into a bin?

And the alternative is not to leave it on the ground,as some seem to be suggesting,but to carry it with you until you find a public bin,or put it in your own.

I think its rude to put any kind of rubbish in other people's wheelie bins. The council issue the wheelie bins to each house for the use of the occupants of said house only. They will have issued one to your house too, so that is the bin that you use for yourselves and your pets.

It is simply a matter of manners, which on the evidence of this thread, seem to be in rather short supply.

Why on earth would you ever need to put your bagged dog waste in a nearby wheelie bin anyway? The beauty of bags is that they can be carried until you reach either a dog waste bin or your own wheelie bin. There is no need to use somebody's wheelie bin/leave the bag on the floor/tie it to a fence.

If you will not carry the bagged dog poo because it smells or is dirty than maybe you can understand why some people don't want it in their bins!

If you are just doing it because the bag isn't too smelly/dirty to carry but you are just too lazy or thoughtless to carry the bag then you need to learn better manners.

I am full of respect, 5madthings!

Brycie I sense you are getting a bit wound up about this.

Just because it's your view doesn't make it the right view.

Mumsnet would be SO dull if people realised this simple fact.

Our bins are now collected every fortnight. It is smelly enough after a fortnight of rubbish never mind dog poo.

I think its absolutely disgusting that people deliberately put their poo bag in someone elses bin and worse yet seem quite proud of themselves for it. It's a bit like a man who expects a pat on the back for eating an inedible dinner.

Look how good we are we collected our dog poo, now as we are such responsible citizens you won't mind at all if we make your bin stink of shit for a fortnight or worse if the bag breaks actual shit everywhere. I don't hose my bin down that often and would really object to having to do that task because a selfish dog owner decided to drop their parcel in my bin.

Its a bit like the threads of cat owners who are genuinely surprised that people object to their cat shitting in their garden.

I don't own an animal and I don't want their shit in my bin thank you very much.

Yes if I am doing a dump trip, and there's dog poo from my own garden that I've bagged up and put in the bin, because I don't want it in my house, but I don't want it in my bin either for obvious reasons. And if I'm going to the dump with a load of other stuff and think I'll just take the rubbish too. And if there's a recycling bag that hasn't been taken and so needs to go to the dump. Not all the time - it does happen. And I wash my bins out about twice a year.

Sorry bad analogy I meant a man who cooks an inedible dinner.
Overexcited by animal poo I expect

No, I'm not wound up. I think other people seem to be wound up that someone objects to dog poo being put in their bin.

If you are just doing it because the bag isn't too smelly/dirty to carry but you are just too lazy or thoughtless to carry the bag then you need to learn better manners.

!

Squoosh: in a dog poo bin in the park or in your own black bag in a bin outside your own house.

But it is the right view Esme, in terms of having manners and being considerate.
