willman   10 #37 Posted October 10, 2018 Hmmm...  ... I think this is taking the whole idea of recycling a bit too far.  Are all types of doggy poo now recyclable or is it just certain breeds?  And will the council's appointed waste disposal operatives refuse to empty the bin if someone has inadvertently put Fido's misdemeanour in the wrong side?  IIRC its irrelevant in Sheffield as everything is incinerated.

Daven   10 #38 Posted October 10, 2018 A friend was walking on Bole Hills and someone complained that the dog bin was so full people were piling the bags on the lid and, as that was full, around the base. She rang the appropriate department who told her to check inside the bin as it had been emptied the previous day.  Lo and behold, it was completely empty.  The theory being that someone had simply dumped their bags on top and everyone else had followed suit.  Which kind of shows the mentality of some dog walkers. Why not just bag it up and take it home ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Why not just bag it up and take it home ?  Because they couldn’t be bothered it’s easier to complain that the council aren’t doing it for them.

Daisydoo! Â Â 10 #41 Posted October 11, 2018 I pick up after my two every time. I was once reported for using a communal bin to put it in. I had a visit from two PCSO to my home they told me not to use the communal bin. Maybe I should just leave it on the grass like everyone else does. There had also been a complaint about dog hair around the flats next door to me never heard anything so ridiculous and I'm sure the PCSO have better things to deal with.

max   13 #43 Posted October 11, 2018 Here in Stannington we have several dotted about which are funded and emptied by SCC. We also have six around the Park which have been paid for by donations and funding given to Action for Stannington. These are emptied by volunteers on a regular basis and SCC collects the large amount collected.  Perhaps if there are no bins in your area you could start a similar scheme.
