with the new food waste bin
i have very little in my land fill bin
however plenty of dog poo bags,
my dog is walked every day but still goes in the garden

yesterday my dh heard a bin man shouting how he didnt sign up for this, seemingly referring to the bags of dog poo in the bin.
i looked on the council website which says double bag it
do you go further?
do you actually take the bags to your local bin?

Yes.
We have a small bin with a lid in the garden.
This is lined with a bag. We put all the poo bags in here, then empty it all into our main black bin on collection day.

If dogs poo on the way home and no bin.i put them to the side of the house,and then take on the next walk to a bin.i never put them in dustbin due to the smell and flies.

Whenever mine pops in the garden we pick it with toilet paper and flush it. They are fairly small though...

You should absolutely not do this. The parasites get through the processing.

Most water supplier websites have pages specifically telling people not to do this. Please stop.

Please don’t! This is so bad

Ours won’t take them unless they are in the bin bags so we put them in the black bin bag as it’s going into the outside bin. If they are outside that, like in the outdoor bin individually, they won’t take them

We've got cats, but yes in the outside general bin.

Our waste is now burnt not landfill so at some point it gets sorted. I've always thought it would be a good idea for poo to be in the same coloured bags so it doesn't have to be touched

Don't get me started on the people who wrap human poo in a nappy and just chuck it

have they actually refused to take them?

I know of a bin man that has been sprayed with dog poop when the bags get rammed in the truck.
Ours are bagged and garden poop is collected in the poop bin and added to the general waste bag.

Yes they won’t take them unless they are inside the other bin bag
