What a load of Rubbish.

I can cope with the fish and chicken carcass, but has anyone any bright ideas for dog poo bags. I’m definitely not putting those in the freezer and I don’t really want to fill the village waste bins.

@Chappers51 We put them out with the rubbish but there isn't usually much as he does most of his poos when we take him out. We only half fill a 50L bin bag every week with our own rubbish so they don't take up much room. Bagged up, they don't seem to smell .....

@Veem Thanks for the tip about the freezer ! That said, we buy scallops in bulk and there would be too many shells to freeze. But for prawns, perfect !

First, make a stock with the shells - as well as a delicious stock, boiling the shells makes them smell less for a while

They do make excellent stock.

I hope you pick up your dog poo!! And assuming you do it must go in the bin.

I often make a fish stock before freezing the fish remains too and add that to prawn curries, which gives lovely added flavour. As Julien says, the shells then have almost no smell .

Only where it would be unhygienic to leave it ! Nothing wrong with scuffing it into the hedgerows along the tracks - who's going to go for a long walk carrying a bag of poo ??

Poo biodegrades better than any plastic bag, even those that are supposedly bio-degradable !

Because poo biodegrades better than a plastic bag, even those that are supposedly bio-degradable ! Who bags up horse poo while out riding ? I don't and I've never seen anyone dismount to bag up their accompanying dog's poo, perish the thought In the forest, you're just as likely to find fox or badger poo ! Who's going to pick that up ? It all gets a bit silly.

Well, you say that, but people do complain about horse poo on the roads! Here are some handy hints for poo picking for horse riders. Warning - some bad language!
