The dedicated dog waste bins often were left overflowing and/or used as general rubbish bins so I’m not convinced we need them when most folk know they can chuck their pooch’s poo in any litter or green house bin. Â
There will always be those who won’t clear up after their dogs. They’re boorish, uncivilised and often unhappy. Not much we can do about that.Â

I went to France recently and in the city I visited there were large billboards on the main streets urging people to stop their dogs from messing on the streets and in a little park a sign said something to the effect that this park was built for your enjoyment not as a dumping ground for dog mess. There were also big signs about not fly tipping.
I wonder if councils are too worried about offending dog owners by making a fuss about this major problem. I was a dog owner for many years, got free bags from the council and there were even bins around then.
