ew! how lovely of a "friend" to put human faeces in your bin! How else are diseases transmitted? Why else did so many countries introduce sewerage systems to deal with human waste? Becuase the mortality rates were VERY HIGH before sewerage systems.
ARGH
when people have a cold, they ring and say, i'm not visiting you today, i know you're pregnant and i don't want to make you unwell
how can they THEN suddenly lose any consideration for YOUR health, your unborn baby's health, your toddler's health etc, not to mention PUBLIC health??
Not to mention the awful stench - the last thing a heavily pregnant woman needs to stress her - and i guess, you prolly dealt with it and diposed of it yourself, why should YOU have to do that?
the irresponsibility and lack of respect for YOU from your friend just floors me.
i know someone who is due YESTERDAY and each time i see her, i fuss about her and try to do anything i can, not MAKE work for her, i cannae understand your "friend".
ok, off my soapbox now, but rooooolllly, it makes my blood boil to hear of you being treated like that!
One of DH's old 'friends' (and I use that word very loosely!) used to work for the dump. His job was to sort the recycling into plastics glass and paper. He came across plenty of pooey nappies at work and was quite disgusted.
I have never seen the coucil officers raiding bins, but then again the bins are only out overnight, as they get emptied early in the morning.
Until we switched to cloth, I didn't know that poo in the bin was illegal. I dont have time to read the bottom of the box when I have a nappy to deal with!
Epacris - I have one of those nappy bins that you are welcome to keep it in the toilet with a sign on top saying 'please dispose of poo in the toilet before using this bin'.

i read that the putting the poo in the loo thing is a local council bylaw issue. Wish i coudl remember WHERE i read that.
i do realise that runny poo is impossible to tip in the loo, i really meant "roll off poos" to go in the loo.
i could not think of anythign more yuck than to have your kitchen bin stinking of poo!

none of us are perfect, we do the best we can, with the knowledge we have TODAY.
yep, i watch too much Oprah obviously!!! (but it's true anyhoo).
