I don't agree with Hyndburns dog bin policy. I think it is a gimmick to make Councillors and/or the Council look good. Instead they should just be putting in general use bins. This might help reduce litter. The only reason dog bins smell is because they have a lid on them. Almost every litter bin you see on a street post will have dog bags put in them because if you are carrying one you look for the nearest bin to use. Dog waste used to be classified as hazardous and had to be treated differently than general waste. Several years ago it was declassified and many Councils started using multi use bins. Instead of hundreds of dog only bins we would have 100's extra litter bins in Hyndburn. Much better use of our Council tax money
