Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

Got passed a message from my neighbour last night from the bin men that came last week. They have complained about me not recycling !!!

They told Debs to tell me that when my puppy has a number 2 that it still has to go into the white paper sack. Now to me that is disgusting and it should go in the black bins. I will admit that the ones she peewees on do go into the white sack.

Ive tried the puppy pads to train her on and she wouldnt take to them.

So who do you think is right here, i shall be phoning the council later about this as i dont want to end up with a fine.:eek:

You should not be putting any paper that the dog wee's or poo's on anywhere except your grey bin. To put it anywhere else would be disgusting. Next you will be putting your used toilet roll in your paper sack.

ewww you are right jimmi, i dont think they should go into the regular re-cycling bin, thats just horrible, i think you are doing right by putting them into the none re-cyclables....how do the bin men know anyway? are they rooting around for dog poo now? ewwwwwwwwwww

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

I can't believe you are actually going to phone the council and ask if they want you to put dog dirt into the recycled paper bag.

I hope they record the conversation - it might be on BBC1's "Dumbest Asked Questions" Christmas Specials

Neil, behave, if she's been told she has to do something differently then of course she should ring them up

I think somebodies taking the mickael here, is your neighbour a practicle joker Jimi

While you are on to them, ask them how do you recycle a Pringles tube?
It has a tin bottom, cardboard body, foil insert and a plastic top.

Inclined to think you are right there Jay.
Have you thought of flushing it down the BOG or am I being to simplistic?:dogrun: I didn't mean the dog.:gooddog:

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

me thinks they would have posted a letter through your door if they had any complaints as is the standard procedure, NOT tell your neighbour to pass on a message !!!!

and as for putting pee soaked paper in the recycling bag....well...:eek:.....DISGUSTING !!!

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

You can buy a dog litter tray and park it in the bathroom, so that the excrement can be scooped out and go down the loo.

Advantages of doing that - no poo bag to carry home and excercise your dog when you want to (not when it needs to)

we had a naughty boy sticker from the council for having soil in teh green bin, hang on, thats teh one that goes to make compost :confused:

they told us to put it in grey bin...

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

we have a brown bin for stuff that goes to make compost

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

Am no expert on compost Entwisi, but am able to read the no, no's of the Green Bin :p

Recycling - Your Green Bin

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

I'm sure they wouldn't leave a message with your neighbour. If they had a gripe with you, they'd tell you. It sounds like a wind-up to me. ;)

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

Got to agree with Cashy...its definately a wind up......

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

Thing was it was our gardener that put it in there :D

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

Telepathy??? :eek:

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

tell them to sod off, you pay your council tax its there job to clear your rubbish no matter how you decide to bin it

these clowns seem to forget they work for us and that we we dont work for them:rolleyes:

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

I just put broken glass/crockery in the grey bin on its own unwrapped. There is no need to wrap it in paper as no one handles the contents of the grey bin. The paper idea was when they used to carry the bin bags by hand.

Garden waste goes in my grey bin because I don't have a garden either :rolleyes:
Which reminds me I need to cut the grass I don't have tomorrow. :D

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

You may be able to get Yellow bags from your council for putting animal waste into.
Burnley do that, although it's not widely publicised.

Re: Recycling Advice (Paper and puppy)
 

It is now widely round Accy :D lol

Do ya reckon I can get somet from the council to put my garden waste into for the 2 gardens we have? Seems like none of the houses round here have a green bin
