It was bagged and tucked into the top of my bin. The bin men would have refused to empty my bin for having something other than recyclable glass for a start, never mind having to remove it myself bleeeurgh.

Cheeky fucker, TAKE IT HOME AND PUT IT IN YOUR OWN FUCKING BIN!!!!!

I hate this ...dog owners please please don't use other peoples bins - unless they are out waiting to be emptied ...and even then I'd rather you didn't.
Refurbishing a house, wheelie bins lived in the garage ... landfill bin doesn't go out for emptying every collection (use skips/trailers etc)

Put landfill bin out for emptying last summer - quick glance it had been emptied and put it in the garage ....
Noticed the garage started smelling - thought maybe an animal had died somewhere in there etc - but couldn't find anything ...
Didn't open the bin lid for about 5 weeks (in the heat wave) ...I'll let you imagine the stench - made me gag...smell was ingrained in the plastic (still has a vague smell now - after cleaning and spraying and airing )...
Now if it goes out I check it better before it comes back in - and twice since have found a poo bag - what am I supposed to do with it? Put the bin out just for that? And then not sure the bin men might think it had already been done (Actually I take it out and put it n a dog poo bin - makes me dry retch - probably cos it still smells and memory)
And in this house I recycle everything and we have separate food waste - landfill bin goes out every other collection - so every month - sometimes even 6 weeks ...

I would be fucking furious if someone started putting their dogshit in my wheelie bin, because the wheelie bin is for garden and food waste only. The council are very clear that this doesn't include animal shit of any sort.

So you dump you shit, and I get the hefty fine. Ta.

I have a small bin and would also be mightily pissed off at dog shit in it. I have to squash it down by hand to get everything in and the bag tied, then the bin men have to pull oput the bin sack and carry it to the lorry. not nice. take your own dog shit home. you can not guarantee that the owner/user of the bin you put it in will be happy about it. it is selfish to keep doing something just because you can't see a problem with it when other people have expressed they do have a problem with it.

Just take your damned shit home with you RPopz and stop fueling the anti-dog vitriol that is the bane of around 25% of the population. It's not that fucking hard to do, unless you are completely incompetent.

Honestly, some people don't want your dog's shit in their bin, some people wont care, but you can't know which is which so leave their bloody bins alone.

And FWIW I've never sterilised a bin, but I have spent most of my life from a wean cleaning up one kind of animal shit or another- sometimes mountains of the stuff if a muckheap needs stacking. I'm not exactly prone to hysteria when it comes to shit, and I managed a lovely walk with my dog tonight without shoving his crap in somebody else's bin and potentially making it their problem when the bag splits.

A little less thoughtless entitlement and a bit more common sense, please.

I opened my black bin (general household waste) and the smell of dog shit was overwhelming. Some lazy, entitled fucking dog owner had put a bag of shit in there.

I'm no dog hater just please don't put it in anyone else bin than your own FFS

I had that happening,too. and to get to the bin they have to go through the gate, across the front garden.

disgusting. and annoying as the binpeople are rightly very picky about the right bins (3wheelies).

just use your fecking own bin or get rid of the fecking dog if clearing up after it and disposing of their shit properly s too much for you.

Right well that explains why I just gipped a little when opening my wheelie bin. It absolutely reeks and had no idea of the cause.

Shall go and check for dogshit bags in the morning.
