Outraged resident condemns 'out of control' dog behavior

Every dog owner has encountered the question: What is the proper etiquette when your dog answers nature's call while you're out for a stroll?

While this disposal dilemma isn't new, it's reached the boiling point in Bondi.


It’s inevitable for your fur pets to leave a mess when going out for a walk.

However, as a responsible owner, you’re expected to clean up after them.

While many Aussies prefer to hold on to their new puppy purse until they find a suitable disposal, but others will just throw it in the nearest rubbish bin, which often belongs to a household.

In Sydney, a resident took to social media to address his rage over the displeasing concern and asked fellow Eastern Suburbs folks to refrain from using his red-lid bin as a depository for their puppies' droppings.

‘BONDI DOG OWNERS - what is the matter with you?’ they wrote on Facebook.

The resident expressed his frustration followed by threats of extreme measures to protect his turf.

‘Our bin was only emptied last night and already it’s building up a collection of baggies. There’s even a steamer in the grass...Get your s*** together or I’m installing razor wire and an electric fence,’ he said.

This isn’t the first time the resident voiced his disapproval of the situation on social media.

He previously shared his resentment after finding what he described as ‘Bondi's biggest dog t***’ that was left on his neighbour's lawn.

‘Personally, I think it’s human but my neighbour, on whose lawn the offending item resides thinks it’s a Great Dane. Can the offender please clean up after themselves or their dog. It’s getting out of control on Beach Road,’ he said, stressing that his local council should ‘start fining offenders’.


The post has garnered different reactions from speculators and created a discussion.

Some wondered if the resident was upset that other people hadn't picked up on their waste or if he was upset that they had left it in his bin.

‘Are you upset about people picking s**t up and putting it in a bin, or not picking the s**t up?’ a man asked.

‘Better in the bin than left on the street, hey. It's a bin, get over it honestly,’ another one wrote.

Not all were against the irate local, others empathised with his sentiment.
‘Gets my goolies BIG TIME—dog s**t sits in [the] bottom of my freshly- cleaned bin,’ a woman shared.

‘Pongs it out forever. You own [a] dog, deal with your own! Do not make others [sic] apart of your issue. Do to others as you would have done to you.’


It’s a debate that always polarised Australians, and Sydney locals in particular.

In 2022, a resident of Sutherland Shire started a controversy by inquiring if it's okay to put your dog’s waste in someone else's rubbish bin.

Another Sydneysider got quite worked up in September of last year over the question of whether or not it was rude to bend over a fence to pick up dog poop.

I certainly understand the frustrations of the bin owners I myself would not pick up the dog doings and then put in their bins I would not do it myself
