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 .

To be fair, the same could be said of at least half the threads on MN!

And now we're having it again..? Got anything to say about it?

I suspect that the people who are saying they don't mind haven't had a bag split down the side of their jeans. It does happen. You'll mind then.

This thread comes up weekly!
I only ever put poo bags in communal bins or carry it home and put it in my own.
Why would it be ok to put your rubbish in someone elses bin- even if it was being collected that day? So random dog poo is ok, what about a tyre, bottles of chemicals or asbestos being shoved in there? Is that ok too???

We are renovating and our bin was half way up the drive. When I opened it, there were leaves mixed with poo at the top. I checked the cameras, and a woman walked up my drive, scraped her shoe with leaves and put them in my bin. Disgusting. The bin is permanently hidden now.

I don't understand? What bag? A dog poo bag?

Otherwise if it's put in your wheelie bin there wouldn't be a bin bag would there? And you wouldn't be picking the bags up even if there was?

Round here bin men wheel the wheelie bin to the truck, pick it up and tip it in, nobody gets bags out.

@RedDuffle so you'd be ok for me to fill your wheelie bin up with dog poo bags?

No way. It's your dog, you deal with its mess without involving anyone else or their property.

I used to HATE dog shit in my bin if it was dumped in there before I got back from work and could put it away. I would loudly tip it out too. Not my bloody dog shit!!

I dont have a dog but would rather people put their crap in my bin then dangle it of a branch 😂- is that a new craze?

But.... it must be the right bin otherwise I would be annoyed that my bin is rejected for emptying.

But it would never fill up a whole bin?

Dog poo bags are tiny and wheelie bins are big - if someone's passing and my bin was on the street I genuinely wouldn't mind them chucking it in. I'd rather that than end up stepping on it or see the bags dangling on branches when out for a walk.

I just don't really get it - like, I wouldn't want someone to come and put dog poo in my kitchen bin obviously, but a bin that lives outside always? I really wouldn't mind.

I don't put MY dog poop in my bin. It goes in a dog/public bin on a walk. I'd be fuming if someone put it in mind!
I don't mind rubbish in the general rubbish bin if neighbours bins are full, but one arse used to chuck stuff in the recycling bins and then we'd get warnings!!
Also I once had a bag with a dead pigeon in put in our bin, over an 8ft wall with locked gate. I had to phone council to see what I should do and was told to leave it!

@RedDuffle

A burst dog poo bag in a wheelie bin in the heat of August can stink to high heaven every time you open the lid for weeks. If you enjoy that, good for you. But people who don't like that aren't being 'precious'; they just don't like other people's dog shit being put on their property, whether you understand it or not. Do you generally regard people who don't like excrement being put on their property as precious? That's a weird view.

It's like deja vu on here sometimes. I swear this thread appears every 3 weeks.

I would be bothered if I saw something throwing theirs in my bin, but that's because I'm weirdly possessive of my things. Not because I care about the bag splitting (hadn't even considered this until I had read one of these threads), not bothered about the smell (it lives outside and is often full of smelly things anyways). I just don't like people touching our things. I don't even like it when people lean against my garden wall.

I don’t think it’s acceptable in any sense. I live in a flat with a communal bin area and prior us getting a lock on it, all the local dog walkers would walk over and put their dog poo in it and it would reek. Especially in the summer - I’d have to hold my breath when going outside to my car. It’s worse when the bags would rip due to pressure and the remaining would cause the smell to linger forever. Dog poo is one of the foulest smells and I don’t think it’s fair on a person to have to deal with a smell outside their home that wasn’t caused by themselves. Find a communal/dog poo bin and dispose of it correctly.

I'll come out with my shotgun if I saw someone put their dog's poo in my bin.

(If I had a shotgun)

Its out of order to put bags full or shit into other people bins this happens if we put our bins out the night before collection and the smell lingers or worse the poo escapes the bag and you need to wash it out or you'll end up with flies round your bins.

Your dog shit isn't my problem, take it home and put it in your own bin.

No. No. No. No. No! Don't ever put dog shit in other people's bins. Just wrong. Nobody wants that. I'd be cross and disgusted, even if the bin was waiting out on the pavement to be collected that day.

It's your dog and it's poo is your problem.

😂

I've spent money fashioning a lock on my bin, due to people passing by and thinking it's a convenient place to put their dog's poo. You are absolutely right to not feel right about it! I do not want dog poo in my pin, no.

I live in a 'nice' area yet the place is blighted with dog poo. I have opened my door to see it on the pavement directly opposite my house. I have watched people sketchily chuck it into neighbours' skips. It's chucked into the footpath behind my house. The public bins close to my house stink to high heaven. When I went for an autumn walk in the dark, with my daughter, my suede boots were utterly ruined by dog shit. This is just one anecdote.

I can't chill and enjoy a park visit because I'm constantly on the lookout for dog poo. It's just ruining the quality of life for everyone else.

The dog thing is a real problem. The sheer amount of people who have them (and many are irresponsible) means it's a major issue for the rest of us who are having to deal with the consequences. I think dog owners need to pay tax.

Used to love dogs.

People who do this should be made to eat up the mess with a spoon, to teach them some manners.

What's with all the dog shit threads today?

1/2 term, bored people lol

Our bin bags were out awaiting collection and some lazy fuck walked past and chucked a bag of dog shit on top of them. wtf

🤷‍♀️
