To throw ALL our dirty nappies (in bags) in public bins on a daily basis?

[BiscuitStuffer]

Rather than chuck them in our normal bin at home?

wheely bin or not your household bin will have a lid

Recycling of used nappies?

Use cloth, wash them.

But the bin on the street / park or wherever gets disposed of in exactly the same place as your own home bin doesn't it?

I assume it's because you don't want to smell of nappies hitting you full in the face when you open your wheelie bin? In which case, why should members of the general public have it forced on them as they pass a litter bin?

Someone, under cover of darkness, has been putting carrier bags full of rubbish, including recyclable stuff that they haven't bothered to sort out, in MY wheelie bin. Thus leaving me with no room for my own household waste. I considered taking it out and dumping it in the nearest public litter bin, but thought it might be frowned upon in some way. I really don't think you should be doing this.

If you compare the capacity of a household bin/wheelie bin fit for household refuse with a litter bin then usually the litter bin is much smaller. Also no lid as previously pointed out.

Foxes love crappy nappies. So they raid the bin. Litter everywhere. Plus the size of a bag holding 2-4 used nappies is larger than most street litter i.e. wrappers from snacks, even soft drinks containers. The litter bin you use will fill quicker than the Council would anticipate and no doubt the emptying of the public litter bin is on a similar schedule (but maybe by different contractor) to your household refuse. So pretty quickly the bin fills, which means people are more likely to litter the street. And it stinks. And the foxes have had a go, opened the bag and there are used nappies in the street.

Wrong IMO.

Im having this weird mental image...
"just nipping into town to throw the shit away love, wont be long!"

put the poo in the toilet before you bin the nappy
this is not advanced physics to work out

really?

seriously where is this bin... how far do you travel to do this

am seriously curious now

I recycle my own nappies! Well, reuse.
I do put the poo in liner in bag in bin though. Even the flushable liners block my drains. Should I try to flick off the poo down the toilet first?

they take forever to rott away if at all and by bagging then bagging again your making any rotting near impossible - come to the cloth dark side

Don't you have an outside bin? Even if your house is small I would have thought that it is a basic requirement of homes/flats to have outside refuse storage, whether in a front garden or in communal areas. You can have a dustbin with a lid. You are creating the stinky stink. So why should you pass on the smell to a street litter bin used by the general public?

Seriously odd.

But so little of the poo is flickable offable

The bins are about 2 minutes apart on all the streets and I'm walking out and about with the kids for about 3 hours a day.

It is a bit odd, Biscuit, but I know exactly where you are coming from.

I posted on here a few weeks ago that I have worked out that, because so much goes in the recycling, about 40% of what goes in my rubbish bin is nappy bags full of poo. Two big dogs and a one year old...

But you are being a bit unreasonable. Scented nappy bags, and a bin with a lid should help.

the bags are all biodegradable.

Yuk. Terries and other reusables really aren't that much hassle. You sound really antisocial.

It constantly amazes me that people don't put the poo down the loo before binning the nappy.

well i manage to get all the poo off my cloth nappies. I'm sure you can cope too.

biodegradable bags make no difference. landfill is basically anearobic. nothign will get broken down.
not biodegradable bags, not those "eco" nappies. nothing.

Trip trap?

It's really not a good thing to do biscuit. I store all my dirty nappies in a bucket in a cupboard in the bathroom before they're washed and it never gets too stinky, but then the poo is separate.
Cloth users, should I attempt to flick poo from liner as my flushable liners block drain? I bag and bin at mo.
