“Don’t put stuff in my bin”

[Soubriquet]

I know I’m going to be told I’m unreasonable but seriously, what is the issue with people putting stuff in your outdoor bin as they walk by?

I’m not talking about someone putting their entire garbage in your bin, but say a crisp packet or a poo bag.

Why is it such a problem? Your bin is not going to the special golden place. It goes to the same place as everything else.

Unclench. It’s a bin

@Cervinia, I had this issue with my recycling bin. So I got out a brush and a tin of white paint, and painted, "Take your poo home", "No poo here" etc. on it. I didn't expect it to work - after all, everyone round here knows which the recycling bins are and that they should put dog poo in them - but it did!

Wtf? No, it's not going to kill you to take your rubbish to your own bin or a public one. The same can be said about your toilet then or your garden or anything you own that you're not using.

Someone put a bag of dogshit in my newly emptied wheelie bin. My arms aren't long enough to reach down five feet to get it out, and I am not physically able to upend the bin myself, so there it had to stay... Two weeks later, the bin got emptied - my big bags were gone, but there at the bottom was a very squished and smelly poo bag. Take it home with you and put it in your own bin!

That was my thinking.

Hoping it would encourage people to pick up their dogs poo , or stop them littering if they had quick access to a bin.

Might even stop the poo trees which luckily I have never seen around my area.

I have cats, and therefore litter trays. When I empty them the poop goes in a nappy sack and then inside another bag before it goes in the bin. My bin, that is, not someone else's!

Our bin men lift the bags out. Anything not in a bag stays there for me to deal with.

Also people's left over takeaway boxes in the recycling bin grrrrr.

Yeah, but no thanks. I have 2 dogs and their poop bags don’t go in my bin. They go to the nearest dog waste bin, which is emptied at least twice a week.Bags of shit burst, get squished and generally stink the place out. Of course I leave them outside but in warm weather - just yuk.
I have no problem telling someone to take their dog shit elsewhere. Where I live, there are plenty designated dog poop bins, and the council tells me I am responsible for the contents of my bins. So, no thanks.
Crisp bag 🤷🏻‍♀️, but again, lots of public bins, so just walk the 100metres with your litter.

I mind if it's dog poo because the bins don't get collected for a fortnight and in the hot weather its vile. There's the right kind of bin for dog shit, use it.
The odd crisp packet isn't a problem except for when its dropped into the recycling bin or the cardboard bin which is then not emptied for another fortnight because it had the wrong rubbish in it.
I doubt those people who feel entitled to use other people's bibs worry at all that they're using the correct bin tbh

This has to be a joke question. You're seriously asking if we mind people dumping dog shit in our bins? And you seem to be suggesting that we SHOULDN'T mind because it's only outside and not in our kitchen bin?

Perhaps I will come round and crap in your bin. I mean, what's the difference?

It's YOUR dogs shit, put it in YOUR bin!
Poo bags can leak or split, especially if you put something heavy on top or they weren't tied properly. Then you've got shit all over the inside of the bin, who wants to clean that, or have to smell it every time you open the bin?!

Plus i can't be the only person whose ever thrown something away accidentally e.g, left money in a birthday/christmas card envelope, or mistakenly throwing out a letter you need, bracelet/ring missing might have fallen off when putting something in the bin etc. Sometimes you have to go back through what you've put in the bin looking for misplaced things, who wants to do that when there's bags of shit in there, or worse, leaked shit on everything!?

It's unhygenic, if i was willing to deal with dog shit in any capacity, i'd have my own dog, or walk someone elses for them/petsit.

IMO it should be a fineable offence to put dogs shit in a bin that isn't a designated poo bin or your OWN bin, just like it is fineable to leave it where it shits. Its just as much of a nuisance/health hazard and antisocial to not dispose of it properly.

Someone once dropped a dog poo bag in my bin and it had split, dripping runny dog shit all over the inside of my bin. (I love dogs, have a dog, would never do this.)
So yeah, I find it really, really unreasonable for people to use my bin for their (or their dog's) crap.

What? No thats like fighting fire with a smaller fire. Just take the dog poo home. Is this your dog poo? Have you been putting it in people's bins and been caught out?

Should dog poo even be in a bin? It's just being buried in the ground in plastic is it better to flush it?

I don't want your dog shit in my bin thanks

We have various bins, if the wrong packaging goes in the wrong bin that bin isn't being emptied on recycling day. I've had someone put a dog poo in my bin and it stinks to high heaven.

My outside bin only has full, closed black bin bags in it. If you put your dog poo bag in it, then I have to fish it out, open one of the closed bin bags, and chuck it in there when I put the bins out.

Fucking gross

YABU my council fine people who use the bins incorrectly. So that's my fine if a lazy arsehole uses my bin incorrectly.

Carry your fucking rubbish home.

I used to live in a place where people walking by used to put things in my bin. I hated it - for a start because it's not just one person, it's lots of people. It always ends up being dog shit or something else that absolutely stinks, and every time you empty the bin until it goes the smell hits you again. Also people putting recycling into my black bin and then I got in trouble for it. It also ends up filling the bin so you have a lot less space. Once someone filled up my entire green bin with clippings! If you've got litter please take it home with you.

I live in a place where we pay privately for bins and we pay by weight, so yeah I object to anything being put in my bin that isnt mine. You might 'only' throw in a crisp packet, but other cf will throw in carrier bags and food waste as shown in this thread, and no I wont pay for otgers people's rubbish.

Also crisp packets can be rinsed and recycled in certain schemes so you should be bringing it home and disposing of it properly

I agree with the issues about putting things in the wrong bin. We have 3 different bins, normal (emptied every 2 weeks), plastics/metals and paper/cardboard (both emptied every 4 weeks). Our bin men look in the bins before emptying them and if there was a poo bag on top of the cardboard it just wouldn’t be emptied! But, as long as the OP is happy about people dumping their dog faeces in other people’s bins, who am I to complain that my bin won’t be emptied now for another 4 weeks and then only if I have removed the poo bag and disposed of it elsewhere myself! 🙄

I wouldn’t be at all bothered if it was full and awaiting collection. But if it was empty and there was no replacement black bin liner in it I would be well pissed off. I don’t even put my own poo bags in there without the liner.

I woukdbt be happy. You put something heavy or sharp on top of a poo bag it will burst. Why the fuck should I clean up someone elses pets poo from my own bin

Here you can add a sticker to your wheelie bin to indicate if you're OK with poop bags.

YABU
Ive had poo put in my bin in the form of a used faeces smeared nappy. It ended up plastered to the side and guess who had to tip the bin over, crawl partway in, physically remove it, bag it, and then hose out their bin? Me that’s who. It almost made me vomit it was so disgusting.

Doesn't bother me...neither the crisp packet nor the dog poo. I'd rather it was in my bin than on the pavement.

Wrt it's a bin. They smell of rubbish, not Chanel No 5 and roses, regardless of a small bag of dog poo. Chances are there maybe, what 1 dog poo bag in there at the most!
