To use other people’s bins

[LanaL]

Kind of lighthearted ( time on my hands right now ! )

When you walk your dog and he does his business - do you ever put it in other peoples bins when you’ve picked it up ? I’m talking about the household bins that are outside the drives on the street - usually ready for collection ?

I don’t do this . I pick it up in a poop bag and carry it until I’m at a public bin . However , I have seen other dog walkers do this ( it’s clear it’s not their bin , as they walk straight paT and just throw it in the bin . I’ve also seen people do it in my bin . It doesn’t bother me in the slightest - I have a dog so that’s where it all goes anyway , but I would feel really rude to put it in someone else’s bin .

No real point to this - I wouldn’t start doing it if the consensus was that it’s fine to , I just wouldn’t feel right - but I just wondered what others think .

My bin is kept in my garage so I'd be very pissed off if someone used it to throw their dogshit in.

I don’t have a dog so this is not a consideration but if my was out and waiting for collection, it would be fine with me. If they walked up my driveway to find it and put it in, that would be different.

Absolutely not, don’t put your crap in other peoples bin. Your dog, your responsibility

Agree with above - only acceptable on day of collection. And if you got it wrong and the bin had just been emptied, I would be cross.

My council only takes the rubbish if in black bags so I would be left with a poo bag in the bottom of my bin

if it ends up in the recycling wheely then the council won’t take any of it and I’d have to fish it out

One of my neighbors told me that someone was doing this to my bin and was pissed off that in didn’t care. I’d rather that than it was left on the street. Now we have a dog I rarely do it, but pick bins which are left out on the pavement mid week, which is an equally annoying habit.

I wouldn’t do it, but it wouldn’t bother me if someone used my bin- either for dog poo or for other litter. Rubbish is for the bin, not the floor. I’d much rather it is in my bin, and I don’t audit what is in there!!

I used to do this without thinking of the implications. It's pretty shitty (literally) to have to sort out a broken bin bag that has dog poo in it, when you thought it was just kitchen/household waste. You are essentially ditching a stranger to deal with black waste, unwittingly, on their own property.
I take it to a public bin now.

No. Would be vaguely acceptable if it is a bin of loose rubbish that is going to be tipped straight into the lorry. If it's all black bagged then you are forcing the binmen to either handle it individually or it will be left for the homeowner. Vile

Not this shit again 😆

Massively rude to put anything in other peoples bins, especially dog poop.

There's been threads on this before. Some people are always absolutely apoplectic with horror that a plastic bag with a dog turd in it might end up in their bin, and others (like me) really don't care in the slightest because it's just a bin and it's not like you're going to eat your dinner out of it.

Although I personally really don't see why it's a problem and don't care if people use my bin for bagged dog shit, I therefore wouldn't use someone else's bin - just because I know that some people are REALLY bothered by it.

I don’t like it and I’ll tell you the reason why.

Someone must have put a poo bag in my bin when it was empty. Over the next two weeks the bin got filled until the next collection. When it had been emptied I brought it back off the road.

I then saw the poo bag had been squashed and splatted and was stuck to the base of the bin in a thin film. The bag was still intact and the poo still inside.

But tell me how I can manage to reach inside a bin and peel it off the base without the bag ripping and having to have loose dog poo inside my bin.

So please don’t put poo bags inside an empty bin.

I don't mind if people put bagged poo in my bin, but I have dogs and my bin already has poo bags in it. This means that I'm not going to swing a heavy bin bag into it on top of an unexpected bag of poo.
I have a sticker on my bin that says I will accept dog poo bags. This was a village initiative to reduce people leaving it on the verges.

Where I live, some people have bins that aren't tipped into the bin lorry - the bin men remove the bags and throw them in the lorry (narrow lanes, so small lorry). Loose poo bags won't be taken, because they aren't in a proper bin bag.

I'm sure I'd be against the grain, but I wouldn't have a problem with someone putting their dog poo in my bin.
It's outside, it's not going to harm me. Oh unless it's really windy and the bins likely to fly about emptying the contents, at which point I don't want the responsibility of picking up poop that shouldn't be mine..only exception I can think of.

For anyone who finds carrying poo bags around to be really icky, you can get special carrying bags made of neoprene that means you don't need to hold the bag yourself - google Dicky Bag to see what I mean.

Unless you train your dog to specifically poo in your garden, carrying shit around is part of owning a dog really.

I wouldn’t ever do it. I just feel it’s cheeky . I don’t mind people using my bin , I would be pissed if someone walked onto my drive to do it but I wouldn’t mind if it’s on the street.

My little one - 10 - we were talking about this when we saw someone do it and he said what if they put something in the bin by accident and needed to get it out and they don’t have a dog so wouldn’t think poop would be in there and then they put their hand in and got poop on their hand ! Which is a valid point !

I do think there should be more bins around- in my area I don’t see a lot of dog mess around but I do see bags of it , my son trod in mess recently that was in a bag but someone else had trod on it and it was open 😩

No doubt they view it as "popping the poop in a nearby bin", whereas I see it as "depositing a sack of shit in my bin".

I think if it was bagged properly I wouldn't mind, I mean it might of already happened and I don't know.

It's disgusting and I'd go straight out to tell them to fish it out if my bin if I saw some do this.

I wouldn't mind at all if my bin was out on the street and someone did this. Rather than than on the floor/not picked up. I think it's weird when people are precious about their bins...it's a bin and it doesn't come inside your house. What difference does it make?

I don't have a dog, and there is no dog shit in my bin, and I do not want other people's dog shit placed in my bin. I'm sure it happens but I think it is different to putting a crisp packet or apple core in, which doesn't bother me.

No no no. We have limited space at the front of our house so our bins were on the pavement. Passers by would constantly put crap in the wrong bins and our bin men would then refuse to collect them - and it's a fortnight until our next collection. It was an utter pain in the arse. We have, at some expense, reconfigured the front shed so that we can now keep the bins off the pavement.

We've had this thread before.

Some people have the "annoying habit" of being at work mid-week daytime.

Cats roam, people don't bring in bins on time, the rain washes the turds away, the hedgehogs shit too... All and any reason not to deal with your pets feces.
