Skips or waste management that accept dog poo!!

bradders33

Okay. So long story short, my ex in his infinite wisdom decided to cover our back garden lawn with membrane, which he then put paving slabs over. His idea was to kill off the grass (?) and then rotavate the garden, level it off and start from scratch.

Sadly, he left it like that and we split up. At first it wasn't a problem besides being a bloody eyesore and as I was working two jobs and trying to keep the house on my own, I didn't have the time and money to get anyone in and I can't lift or dig anything myself with a slipped disc. So I had to leave it.

Anyways, I could still go out there and pick up the dog poop off the membrane and slabs as and when. However, the membrane started to break down and despite borrowing electric tools and trying my best on a number of ocassions to tackle the weeds and vines that grew up the garden, it finally got the better of me and it's now totally inaccessible out there.

So bringing us to today. I've finally got the money to get the garden done and am waiting on a quote. I've asked for all of the garden to be cleared and skipped, garden rotavated and lawn and patio laying. Which I could manage the upkeep of. However, the man doing my quote is having problems as he said some of the dog waste will inadvertently end up mixed in with the rubbish, mud and weeds and he can't find a skip to hire that will accept that, nor can he find another way to dispose of it.

Help!!!

Thanks in advance. x

Probably cheaper, easier, but not quicker to buy industrial strength weedkiller, off Amazon or the like, weedkiller it all.in six weeks or so it will be dead weeds and then you can pick up dog mess and put it wherever it normally goes.

But as for dog waste now and workman, dog poo disintegrates over time so there will be very little still out there and workman should not even mention to skip companies

I feel sorry for your dog having to wander about in that. Pick up the poo, put it in a black bag and then put the black bag in your wheelie bin. Then the builder can carry on.

Wouldn’t do that with a pet around. My old dog used to eat the grass.

He's not having me on. I've looked into it myself and the skips are emptied usually by hand for recycling.

Hello, I would not want to put weed killer down because of animals etc, but I do agree that the poop will be dust by now and suggested to him tonight that maybe he could get out there and hack the jungle back and then I could probably sweep the poop dust up off the remaining membrane and slabs. 🤔

As mentioned in my OP, the garden is inaccessible currently, it's so overgrown. My dogs get walked twice a day and poop brought home and binned. 💩

I'm not keen on chemicals either. �� I've not got any grass though, it's a jungle and needs a chainsaw!

If the garden is that overgrown surely any dog poo would be long gone, it doesn't hang around forever.
