    All our local bins get stuffed to the brim over the weekend, when they're not emptied. And it's generally my neighbours, putting domestic waste into them! I have lost count of people I know from the area (a lot of old ladies, but also people in their 40s/50s) who just come along with a small bag, look around, and then stuff it into the bin. It drives me mad, because then other people with chocolate wrappers or whatever also try and stick it into the same bin, and as there's no room, it blows out all over the street. DCC now have a policy of taking away 'problem bins', which means the issue will get worse. And all because of people avoiding their bin charges.

    Slightly off topic, I know, but maybe the people disposing of their small bags of household waste in public bins can't afford the ripoff charges for bin/recycling/composting services being provided by waste management companies in good ol' ripoff Ireland these days. I'm lucky, I've been authorised to use the bags that were "disposed of" by local authorities last year as I live alone and have very small amounts of "landfill" refuse. I recyce all the rest and compost what's compstable. If I had to subscribe to the wheelie bin system I simply couldn't afford the cost.

    Now, back on topic: :P

    I collect my dogs' poo in a baggie, tie it to the top of the coupler I use for walking my three together, and empty it onto the compost heap when I get home. Problem solved. I do this religiously unless they poo in the high grass to either side of the walkway. It's a forest-type trail, and there are NO BINS!! :eek:

    Oh, and the poo that doesn't get collected in my garden will decompose/get washed away in a matter of weeks, thanks to the high volume of rain falling here in the wild, wet and windy west and the good quality dog food my poochies eat. ;):D
