Dog poo in my bin?

[smoreOre]

My driveway is small, I can fit one car one and that’s it and the bins are at the side. I live on a tree lined street and have numerous leaves piled up mush over the pavement.

I constantly spot owners allowing their dogs to sit on the leaves on my driveway next to the bins. I don’t know if all dogs shit in the same place but it fucks me right off - I once banged on the window and the woman just shrugged at me.

Numerous times I’ve had dog poo bagged up thrown in my big which i think is absolutely disgusting tbh. I’m going to buy a lock for the bin.

Aibu as a dog owner do you put their shit in other peoples bins?

YANBU. Have been a dog owner, unfortunately not for a few years now, however I was never so entitled as to use someone else's bin and try to frame them as the unreasonable one.
It absolutely stinks in summer as I'm sure all the dog owners who think any bin is fair game will realise. Add to that, that some councils fine you for having dog poo in your bin. It doesn't take much to carry it to your own bin or a public one. We choose to have dogs, it's ridiculous to throw the dummy when someone doesn't want its excrement in their bin.

Yanbu. I wouldn't want a stinky bin and would get a bin lock

Don’t leave your bin out the front then? It must look hideous sitting right out the front of your property.

Maybe they live in a mid terrace Hyacinth Bucket.

Yanbu, OP, I like dogs but I’m not able to have one so why should I allow random dog shit in my bin stinking it up? Many dog owners are entitled.

Glad you getting a bin lock.

Can you block the leafy bit in a safe way that prevents dogs getting there?

Urgh, how nasty. They want a dog, they handle the dog shit.

It annoys me. I would never dream of putting my dogs poo bag in someone’s bin. It’s cheeky as! I get the points that they’re all bins but us the only other option for them to leave it on the pavement!? No! They can carry it all the way home and put it in their own bins.

This

If you get a bin lock, I bet they’ll just not bother to clean it up.

Can you put the bins anywhere else so you don’t have such a convenient set up for dog shit (leafy area next to pavement to go in with bin right there)? If not, I think you should go with the PP’s suggestion to put something down which would put the dogs off from lingering/shitting in that area.

Dog owner here- YANBU. Absolutely disgusting.

Nothing, and I mean nothing makes me more mad than people leaving their dog’s shit on the floor. 😡

And whilst I’d rather they picked it up, the least they can do is then put it in a public bin. If one of them breaks, you’ll end up with shit all over your bin.

Follow everyone hem and put a sh*tty nappy in their bin- preferably after it's been emptied so they get a good 2 weeks of smell.

All of you who don't mind people putting shit in your bin, you've never had something split the poo bag and it spills out on the inside of your bin? The shit gets spread about by the rubbish when it's emptied, it can get everywhere.
Also, i can't be the only person who'se accidentally thrown something away that is then needed and you have to go retrieve it from the bin, what if there's then shit all over it?

I'd rather it's left on the floor where i can see and dodge it, than put in my bin!

I'd rather them put it in my bin than not pick it up

It would have to be a soiled adult nappy to get anywhere close to the smell.

Maybe a big dead rat, it's just a bin right?

Where else would you put a big dead rat?

Your own bin

I haven’t articulated myself properly. What would you do with it if you found a big dead rat in your garden?

You’re going to compost it or have a burial now, just so you don’t have to say that you would put it in a bin.

Why would I say that? I would put it in my own bin, not someone else's. Unless they had dumped shit in my bin maybe.

I'm a dog owner and whilst it's always tempting to put the bagged poo in the nearest wheelie bin, I don't, because I think that's cheeky fuckery. I wouldn't like it if somebody else did it to me, even though I'm a dog owner with my own dog's poo in my bin.

😂😂 touché

<Blinks vacantly, thinking of all the times I have indeed buried dead mice and hedgehogs in my own garden>

Why is it so weird to do that? It's good for the soil.

I have no space. Small garden that is lawn and food.
