To think you can't drop dog shit in other people's bins?

My dh thinks that if a house wheelie bin is on the pavement it's fair play to dropped bagged dog shit into it.
I on the other hand think this is socially unacceptable, so I thought I'd ask MN.

Iabu, of course, a bin is a bin, perfectly reasonable to drop shit in it.

Yanbu LTB filthy fucker

If it’s properly bagged it’s fine.

Peace43 · 16/11/2021 21:17

I have a dog, you don’t leave your poo bags in other peoples bins (unless the bins belong to your sister or your parents!)

Lockheart · 16/11/2021 21:18

I'd rather it was in my bin than on the pavement tbh. Their own bin would be preferable of course but it makes no difference to me.

Kookookachuu · 16/11/2021 21:19

I wouldn’t do it because a lot of people would be horrified but I honestly wouldn’t care if anyone put dog poo in our bin.

WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps · 16/11/2021 21:19

It would irrationally annoy me if it was my bin. (Irrationally because it's a bin and it stays outside, but still... 💩)

vikalpa · 16/11/2021 21:19

It's a no from me, if I saw someone dropping dog poo into my bin (even properly bagged) I wouldn't think it was cool

Suzi888 · 16/11/2021 21:20

I have a dog and would never do this.

Chasingsquirrels · 16/11/2021 21:20

If they are out to be emptied then fine.
If they are already emptied then no, something dropped on top could split the dog poo bag and made it smear all over the inside of the bin.

Having said that I wouldn't put it in someone else's bin, just I wouldn't mind if they did the above.
But then we don't have wheelie bins for general rubbish, just black plastic sacks.

Wtfdoipick · 16/11/2021 21:20

Don't mind if people put it in my bin but for fucks sake put it in the general bin not the bloody paper on, bastards.

stripetop · 16/11/2021 21:21

I have dogs, I wouldn't do it but I wouldn't care if someone else did, just be glad I wasn't stepping in it

CounsellorTroi · 16/11/2021 21:22

I wouldn’t do it, no. I’d take it home and put it in my own bin.

Itsadogsworld · 16/11/2021 21:22

I wouldn’t use some else’s bin for any kind of rubbish, nevermind poop. I use a public bin or take my rubbish home with me.

DuggeeHugPlease · 16/11/2021 21:22

Nope I'd hate this. Carry it and put it in a proper dog bin or take it home.

I wouldn't even like someone putting other general rubbish in my bin so certainly not poo.

Takedogshithome · 16/11/2021 21:23

I can't believe the replies! Fair enough, I'm being a bit unreasonable

AllThingsServeTheBeam · 16/11/2021 21:23

I wouldn't do it. But I wouldn't mind if the person leaving their dog shit all over the bits of grass at the side of the house would pick it up and use mine!

I do use my mum's if it's out and I'm walking past.

verymiddleaged · 16/11/2021 21:23

My DH does this, I don't think it is ok either.

HelloChompy · 16/11/2021 21:23

If the bin lorry is following you down the street, emptying the bins, then fair enough I think. If the bin is empty then no way. I don't put my own dog's bagged poo in the bottom of my bin as something heavy dropping on it could split the bag and leave the bin covered in poo!

PingedPotato · 16/11/2021 21:24

If its out for collection then fine. If not not fine. Especially if its just been emptied as it might just get smashed.

Twillow · 16/11/2021 21:24

Irrationally, it seems wrong - but rationally it really isn't. It feels like an intrusion but when you analyse it the bin isn't even 'yours', it belongs to the council who are using it to provide you with a service.

Supermohican · 16/11/2021 21:24

Absolutely disgusting. Someone did it once and put it in my recycling bin. So grim, especially in hot weather when the hun doesn’t get emptied for another two weeks.

OnTheBoardwalk · 16/11/2021 21:24

It’s a nope from me

Someone put a dog shit bag in my empty cardboard bin before I could bring it in. Postie knowing it was empty put parcel in it. Result smashed dog shit in my bin and on parcel

I get missed bin collections cos of wrong things in my bin. Take your dog shit home with you

Melonportal · 16/11/2021 21:25

People really think this is OK? I don't have a dog because I don't want to deal with its shit. I certainly don't want to deal with your dog's shit.

XenoBitch · 16/11/2021 21:25

Not my bin, so not appropriate for me to put any sort of rubbish in it.

Bigfathairyones · 16/11/2021 21:26

Nope, horrid and nasty and I'm a dog owner; it annoys the crap out of me. We used to have people do this constantly when living next to a dog walk and in the end we moved our bins (which was a complete PITA)

WholeClassKeptIn · 16/11/2021 21:27

Its gross. If its alrwady been collected it will sit in tbe bin for 2 weeks and stink.

Dont go putting your shit in my bin!!!
