Using a wheelie bin for dog poo - unreasonable?

[Snowballschanceinhell]

I'm willing to be told I'm being unreasonable here. I've just been shouted at by a woman for putting my poo bag (very small, my dog is a pug so doesn't produce much waste!) in her wheelie bin.

I live in a residential area, not many bins on the street, plenty of wheelie bins right next to the pavement (it's not like I walked down her driveway or anything) so I quite often just pop it in the nearest one to me as it saves walking for the next 30 mins holding a bag of shit.

Who is being unreasonable?

Put it in your own bin or a public bin. If I find a dog poo outside our drive I bag it and walk to the nearest public bin, which isn't near. Yuck.

I don't know if anyone who does sniff their bin for pleasure. However, you cannot avoid smelling it when you open the lid. The smell of dog faeces is so offensive that lots of people would mind their bin smelling of it - especially if you have a small plot and the bin is kept close to the house.

As for being precious - yes it is for waste matter but when a bag leaks and the weather is hot is it really "precious" to hose down the bin and keep your living environment clean?

But the bin is not part of my living environment. I just don't understand why people are bothered about having a clean bin. I realise lots of people are, there's even bin cleaning businesses after all. I don't think I breathe in when I open my bin lid. It's open for what, a second, while I chuck something in, then it's shut again.

Omg. How does a person end up feeling so entitled.
You are being massively unreasonable and if it was my bin I would have followed you home and put it through your letter box.
I have a dog and I don't put it in my own wheelie bin until the day of collection. I store it in a sealable box in a shaded cool spot at the end of the garden. In a wheelie bin it causes massive fly problems and stinks the bin out.
You're unbelievable.????

It's a small bag of dog poo, it's not nuclear fucking waste.
Put it in my bin by all means rather than leave it on the street or in the park.
Hardly unbelievable really and not at all unreasonable.
I've picked up other people's dog poo before now, not nice but better than leaving it for someone to step in.
It won't stink your stupid bin out if it's wrapped and tied in a bag.

But the bin is not part of my living environment.

Ours is. Its on our drive, I have to get the kids in the car everyday. I don't want to do it with the smell from a bin full of other peoples dogs shits. Especially in summer, its rank.

It's a small bag of dog poo, it's not nuclear fucking waste.

You obviously don't live in an area that gives out warnings and fine for your rubbish not being in a black bin bad. Therefore when someone dumps their dogs waste in my bin and have to get the bag out and move it into a black bin bag.....so I don't get shit on by the council.

Is that fair?

I'd go berserk if someone put their dog's crap, bagged or not into my bin - bad enough as it is only getting emptied once every three weeks. I've become very territorial over my bin over time.

You do not put any rubbish in anyones else bin especially not dog poo. Carry it home like the rest of us if no public bin available. You have a dog then you pick up and carry shit... that is life.

YABU OP. You trespassed onto someone else's property, put smelly dog shit in their bin so you didn't have to carry it home. No that is not good behaviour at all. This and people reversing into my drive to turn around totally oblivious to my child playing nearby- my blood boils. If it's so small carry it home with you- or do you not want to smell it for 30 minutes. But it's ok for the person whose bin may have it lingering for 2 weeks.

You can put poo bags into regular bins now - well you can round here anyway, because the dog bins are being removed. I think ti's probably on the way everywhere.

I know this is a #LTAtrufax through work.

I'd be really annoyed if someone swatted a bog of poo in my nice empty bin. I get equally annoyed when you buggers let your dogs poo all over the paths and just leave it there. It DOES stink, it is horrible and I'd hate to walk 30 minutes with a bag of poo in my hand. That's why I don't have a dog.

That'd be fine if you can find a bloody bin, dog poo bin or regular one.
I'm just happy if people use a bin and I don't care if they use mine so long as it's bagged up.
Plenty of stuff in the world to get all riled up about, treading in dog shit is one, people clearing it up and binning it in a bin isn't one for me.

I know lots here won't care about the people who have to do this sort of job; but I do wonder if people know and understand that after everything has been compressed in the bin lorry, it all ends up semi shredded through a machine that disgorges it onto conveyor belts where workers have to stand and hand pick it. (to try to find ridiculous amounts of potentially recyclable materials per minute in pretty awful working conditions.)

I wouldn't expect somebody to put dog waste in my bin, and if I had a dog, I certainly wouldn't do it to anyone else. I suppose maybe if the bin was on the kerb about to be emptied it would be slightly less horrible, but I still don't think it's okay really.

i really dont give a crap if people put properly bagged/knotted dog poo in my bins, i would MUCH rather it was there instead of the patch of grass outside my house, in the leaves (in autumn) on my walk to school...

its a bin....

if you are getting a lot of this, you can call the council and request a dog poo bin for your area, but i think this is worse.... as people just tend to dump bags 'near' a DPB

Some people seem not to care about dog poo being deposited in their bins - good for you.

Why would you leap to the conclusion that the rest of us would or should feel the same way.

Equally hilarious is the idea that as terrorism, corruption and poverty are rife we shouldn't really care about any other minor issues. Who are you trying to kid?

It honestly wouldn't bother me if someone put a bag of dog poo in our bin when it's outside...rather that than have to try and scrape it off of the kids shoes...and it's usually got dog poo in it anyway from our own dogs

However, I can't recommend this highly enough, I use this every day when I walk the dogs in the morning, as I walk them through the woods and there are no bins until I get back to the village again:

Same as LizaTarbucksAuntie where we live as well, there are now big stickers on the normal bins saying that dog waste can be put into them as well, rather than waiting until you get to a specific dog poo bin...I think it's to reduce the number of people who just leave it, or those who bag it up and then leave the bag in a tree/on the floor (I don't get that, just leave it and it least it will biodegrade, how will it do that in a plastic bag!)

I might have missed the posts that say this.

Bins are the property of the council, not the householder...

In this country residents do not pay by weight for rubbish disposal...

It's a fucking bin. I have done this. I would not give a shit (see what I did there?) if someone put bagged dog poo in my wheelie bin.

Oh, and the bin men who lift black bags out of wheelie bins are missing the point of wheelie bins, which were introduced to fit the bin lorry so they can be mechanically lifted and all rubbish tipped straight into the lorry. This reduces the likelihood of a bin man putting his back out lifting bin bags, plus the annoyance and mess/danger of bags splitting when lifted.

thank you op for deciding not to do this again .

round her it is 3 week collections only, the bin men refuse to collect if the bins have been filled with "incorrect waste" and the council sometimes root through to spot check and fine people.
yes, it is only 1 bag, but 3 weeks later i would not want to be donning marigolds to root through incorrect rubbish, especially since it would have been squidged about by my later rubbish.
basically, round here you should leave bins alone unless you are willing to do the dirty mess clean up

TooExtraImmatureCheddar our bin men have little choice. Since they became an outsourced service, they're all on zero hour contracts and required to work hard and fast, to a timed round and not hold up traffic.

They can't if they push every bin to the back of the truck, wait for it to lift and tip, and bring it back again, so they don't. They have a system going so every third bin is done by machine, the rest emptied manually.
The days of being concerned about their backs, unions etc are long gone.

The same company follows sweeping up contents of split bags after
the lorry, and sticking labels on bins that have been left un-emptied for having the wrong, or un-bagged rubbish in them.

It used to be part of the service for the bin men to collect bins from near the house for disabled or very elderly people who couldn't get them to the pavement. There isn't enough time for that now either.

Yabvvvu I have a small dog and carry it home if there isn't a council bin

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest if some one put a bagged up dog crap in my bin. I would rather that than they leave it on the floor or leave a bag in a hedge or tree

Bins here are not the property of the council. If you want a bin, you buy a bin, wheelie or otherwise. And yes, we are in the UK.

Wheelie bins are not tipped up to be emptied here, so all rubbish that isn't in proper bin bags gets left in the bottom of the bin.

I'm not precious about my (very own wheelie) bin but it pisses me right off if someone drops loose rubbish in it, because it's me that has to fish it out, bag it and put it back again. If some ignorant soul who didn't know better put dog poo in there I would be thoroughly fucked off.
