Is it just me? - using my bin for their dog poo

Oops - just checked with the gardener. I meant blackberry, apparently.

As you can probably tell, I leave gardening to those who enjoy it 

Of course, if we had round the clock bin collection, a la francaises, the problem wouldn't have arisen in the first place, would it?!!!  

mmm, it is lent to you but for your own personal use? 

but if i saw someone picking up litter voluntarily i'd be happy, even if they did put it in my bin

Yes, I believe they even clean your bin for you over there.....several times a day.....and deliver freshly baked bread while they are at it.

You really must try it over there......

but that's not what you asked, you asked if our wheelie bin is lent to us from the council so techniclly we do not own it ,so can we stop people putting rubbish in it on the day of emptying.

Is the issue because it was dog poo?  Health & Safety? Wouldn't like the job of refuse sorting if there's a risk of coming across such items as dog poo, bagged or not.  Dirty nappies is another story.

Do they refuse sort non-recyclable Jill, ours go straight to tip.

Err! How did my thread title get ammended??

Come on, own up, who done it?? 

I amended it to give people an idea what the thread was discussing as so many people start a thread with exactly the same title.  

I must admit that if I only have a couple of glass objects in my glass bin I will often pop them in the neighbours box to save putting my bin out. The reverse of that is that as I am there all day I usually make sure my neighbours bin is placed back out of harms way so he can get his car on his drive without having to move the box first. 

I am not sure I would condem the lady in question as clearly the rubbish was out for collection and the course of action had no real negative effect on the person responsible for the bin. Live and let live perhaps?
