sounds like someone just stood in something,
why have public bins then?

I don't think that fair. I don't have a dog (our last one was stolen when he was 10 months and the kids still cry about it) but I have no problem with people who use a public using the bin provided for their dogs poo in the same way as other people use the bins for wrappers, plastic bottles etc.In these days of 'polluter pays', the theory is that you bring it home and put it in your own bin. So it is your own bin that stinks, rather than the public bin. And it is your own 'pay by weight' account that covers the cost of disposal, rather than the public purse.

I walk on a regular basis and am absolutely astounded by the number of people who allow their dogs to poo in public places & then walk away from it.
Methinks you need to do a bit of reading on 'polluter pays'.
Polluter Pays is also known as Extended Polluter Responsibility (EPR). This is a concept that was probably first described by the Swedish Government in 1975. EPR seeks to shift the responsibility dealing with waste from governments to the entities producing it. In effect, it internalises the cost of waste disposal into the cost of the product, theoretically meaning that the producers will improve the waste profile of their products, thus decreasing waste and increasing possibilities for reuse and recycling.

Most socialists live in good areas of south Dublin and own cars so it's not an issue for themI would not like my child to be sitting on the bus next to someone with a bag of the stuff on their lap...
Like I said - you need to do a bit of reading on polluter pays. It is not about privatisation.Sounds pretty capitalist. You are taking something that was socialised and attempting to privatise it. A quick scan of some Marxist newsletters would seem to verify this, with criticism focused on the impracticalities of implemention - none are advancing it as a socialist solution.
I'm not sure where the bus comes into it. I don't think many people take their dog to the park on a bus?Whatever about 'polluter pays', is there not a sanitation and public health issue with the idea of carrying a bag of dog excrement on one's person and bringing it into one's home? I would not like my child to be sitting on the bus next to someone with a bag of the stuff on their lap...
Sorry - I must remember to stop mixing my metaphorsI don't think many people take their dog to the park on a bus?
We cleaned up after a neighbour's dog did his business on our lawn, and our own bin was stinking that weekend. If this is multiplied by 20 or 50, I can only imagine what a bin in the park might be like, unless owners start looking after their own.

Just FYI, I'm not going to debate this with you further, as I reckon you're trolling.

What do you reckon might happen if you get 50 dog turds in a single open bin - any stench there?If you put faecal matter into an enclosed bin, of course it will stink. It won't stink nearly as badly if it is put into an open bin, for example a public bin. Although I regularly see dog turds on pavements, I rarely notice a stink off them. That's mother nature for you.

True, and he's one of the few we have according to himself. Mind you, his memory isn't that good of late.Except for Bertie of course.
