    What is the best way to dispose of your pet's waste if your bin provider doesn't take it? Disposing in public bins is illegal afaik, and I'm not aware of any other facilities in or around the city. Thanks

    I thought you could put the doggiepoo bag in the public bin when you're out for a walk. I always do. At home I put it behind the bushes(without a bag). It just biodegrades.

    You can put it in the public bins, but you can't take it from your home to put it in public bins. Especially not when you have a black bag full of it.

    I think.

    Or just do what our local scumbags do and hang it from park gates, bushes and even the sides of the childrens swings in our local park.

    When you say pet, you're talking dog or smaller, not horse?

    Can't see why dog poo can't be taken in biodegradable bag in the food waste bin, or the refill bin?

    It absolutely CANNOT be put in a domestic compost bin. Some people compost it at home but it is not acceptable waste for collected bins.

    It can go in the Black Bin with my bin provider, I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same for others.

    I've been living with a friend recently and just put my animal's waste into a Tesco bag out the back, thinking we could put it in with the waste collection. Long story short, the bin provider he uses states they do not accommodate for animal waste, at all.

    So now I have a shopping bag with crap in it. It's too big to put into a public bin and I'm worried about chancing it with the provider that has stated they do not take it.

    How many animals have you got?? How long is it accumulating that you have a black bag full of it?

    I pop open the manhole cover out the back and throw it down with a bucket of rain water...im fairly sure that's OK to do...I haven't had an issue so far.

    Go out the back and look for black lids on the path,then look to see which one your toilet is emptying into by lifting lids/drain covers by getting someone to flush toilet inside. When you have found the sewer drain begin putting dog waste in it while having a hose or bucket of water to add and flush toilet inside to wash away.

    I think putting it behind the bushes is ok if you have that sort of garden For a highly manicured garden, no. Is there any particular reason that it should not be scooped up on a dustpan and flushed down the loo?
