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

How ridiculous. How can a tied up bag of dog poo be any worse than the bags of rotting food waste that are legitimately discarded into black bins ?

As for getting all possessive over 'my bin', and stuff that is being discarded in any case ....

+ a another ..... how can you get so upset over someone using your bin.

I'd much prefer it if people took their litter and dogs bags home with them. On the other hand I would rather they put litter or dog bags in our bin than not pick up, or throw stuff down on the street and in the hedges.

Quite easily, as it was empty and on my property!

We'll have to agree to disagree, hey?

at the end of the day, it was your bin and your rubbish and strange as it may seem under the law just because someone throws something away, does not mean they don't still own it. You have as much right to be grumpy as you want. I wonder if people would be happy if their bin was used as a toilet?

There's a difference between someone crouching over a waste bin and a bag being deposited Corners but at the end of the day, would it change my world, no I don't think so but the OP has a right to his opinion and be grumpy .

Especially so if the bin is policed by one of the local authorities that are paranoid about what goes into which bin, and that wasn't the dog shit bin. They apparently just don't collect until the householder goes through the contents and gets it right.

Up here, if you buy a brand new house, you actually have to buy your general refuse bin from the council, same if you need to replace one.  So in that case the bin would actually belong to the householder.

No rotting food in bins here either these days, that has to be placed in the special food waste bin.

And dog poo bins are provided on selected lamp-posts, and are separately emptied by the council.

So I would certainly not be happy if anyone used my bin for dog poo.

Differant in our region Kj, waste food goes in the garden waste bin, doesn't matter if its cooked or not, even doggie and cat poos can go in if you so wish.

Yes its different colours and practices dependent upon what council district you are in. I believe the OP mentioned a black bin and if all of Derbyshire follow the same practice, then that will be non recyclable waste.

Ours are green for that, how odd.

If the bin had been emptied it could be there for a fortnight. Doggy poo bags don't seem the most durable of containers. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that it could burst and the contents being stuck to the inside of "your" bin. Would the 'lady' in question have been as sanguine at your old engine oil being dumped in her bin in a leaky container?
