Dog poo bins have been removed from a popular National Trust beauty spot
because they keep overflowing.

Park rangers at Ludshott Common in Hampshire say they have been able to
keep up with the amount of dog poo bags being left at the 735 acre site.

Unable to put their bags in the red waste bins, dog walkers have turned to
stacking them on top.

Revenue £681 million (2019/20)
Staff 14,000
Volunteers 53,000

'As a charity, we have limited funds for waste disposal, so as a result, we
have made the difficult decision that the dog waste bins on Ludshott
Common will be removed.

Not even more bins just bigger bins - they're usually tiny but you could easily have a "full bin bag sized" bin there :shrug:. Wouldn't even need emptied more often.

DOnt waste money on diversity training and woke nonsense

Yes Bigger Bins
they can afford that.


This requires a Parliament Debate


Any Staff can Collect a bag of Dog Poo
even women in the office

I'm seeing far more of it on the ground these days. People not cleaning it up after themselves.

Yes it's the Youths taking mummies dogs

They need bigger, more and emptying more often, if people are picking up and bagging this should be encouraged, too many lazy sods that leave it on the ground.

seems like a pile of sh it to me


The obvious consequence is that it will go back to the old days with crap everywhere

no need to be faecestious

Tbh it's probably better to just kick (or nudge) the poop off the path. Animals poop, it happens! Including the not-pets who live in the Parks. Poop enters the life cycle, and not using as much plastic is only a good thing !

(For the record, I always pick up after Daisy)

They need new bins with "for humans use only" and they need to make them easier to perch on.

That's what you'd think.
