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

 .....  However, a combination padlock with the number given to the bin men team could work!

Bin men don't empty bins if the lid is slightly open, they're hardly going to faff about with a combination lock before emptying the bin ...... imagine if everyone had one .... it'd be midnight before they got back to the depot - if at all.

'What number is this Frank?'

'number 47 Tom,'

'right, where's Harry, He's got the combo's'

'i'll shout Him,'

'Harry Where's the combo numbers'. . . .Yup, it could take a while to get the bins emptied

Abersoch? Holiday home? If it was 30 years ago, your friends would be very lucky if it was just dog poo in bin ValDa! Anyone else remember the "come home to a real fire, buy a holiday cottage in Wales" period! ( for any youngsters out there, certain locals in Wales were getting very fed up at rich folks buying up houses for holiday!) 

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?

good point . Think most of us would rather see the dog poo bag in a bin waiting to be emptied than dropped on the street, but in the bottom of an empty bin that would have to sit outside our house for the next fortnight? Most definitely not

Our 'residual waste' or grey bin is one of few bins in the country that's emptied every THREE weeks ..... 

 

She has written, in large letters, all over the bin - No dog poos please - and yet everytime we've been down there recently there must be twenty or more bags of poo!

One of our neighbours has a small patch of grass at his open plan front. He has put up TWO large signs saying 'Private Property - Do not allow your dog to foul this area'.

I suspect that this has had the opposite effect to what he intended. People don't like being told what to do by self appointed jobsworths.

I would venture to say that your neighbour is hardly a jobsworth! It's his poperty, from what you say, so he is entitled to put what he likes, surely? 

My self I would not use other peoples pin's for anything, but we all have different way's of thinking,  if the lady in question was out walking dogs I would think it would not be a great task to take the bag home and use her own bin. We have two dogs that I walk daily and always take bags with me but never have to use them as our dogs always use our back garden.

This reply may cause a stir but it is not intended to. Having had a cat for many years and used our bin for the litter I know that using them for such purpose does make the whole bin smell, even when it is bagged in fragranced nappy sacks. So now we unfortunately have no cat I would not want anyone else putting their pet waste in my bin and to do so when it was empty is disgraceful behaviour in my opinion. But then as someone who has had a lifetime of observing other people’s actions it does not surprise me. I have friends, nice people too, who have dogs and they save up their entire dog pooh in bags and when they take their dog out for a walk they put all that saved pooh into the village street bin. I have no idea when those get emptied but I suspect it is less often than the 2 week intervals our general waste bins get emptied. The smell is awful if you have to be close to it for any length of time. Why can't people just take their mess home with them to their own bin? Another dog friend tells me they regularly see bagged dog pooh thrown up into the tree branches! What is all that about? I saw the same debris in the hedges on the walk from Edinburgh camp site to the bus stop myself a few years ago so it is not something new. Today someone had thrown, or placed, a bag of pooh at the side of the bin in my village, surely they must have known it had not gone inside the bin so why didn't they pick it up and put it inside the bin if that was their intention? Or was it? I am sure many dog owners are very responsible but there must be many that are not, just from my own observations. I would never have dreamed of taking my cat's pooh and placing it in the village bin let alone neighbours but then some on here would, and have in the past, say shoot the cats. Regards, Roy
