rabbit rubbish

Hello. At the moment I take all the old bedding to work and throw it on the muck heap after the rabbits have had their shed cleaned.

I was just wondering what everyone else does with their old hay and straw? Is it acceptable to put it into the garden rubbish wheelie bin, or is that not allowed?

Re: rabbit rubbish

Mine goes in the garden rubbish bin, but I would phone your council just to make sure that is ok because some councils won't take it.

How long does that take to break down? During these colder months i'm using 1large bale of straw every month, I dont think I have enough garden to spread it about.

Re: rabbit rubbish

Our council wont take our bin if I put the rabbit rubbish in it so I brought a metal bin incinerator which I burn it all in, just start it off with dry newspaper and put some at points throughout it and at the top and it burns fairly well.

Re: rabbit rubbish

I put everything in a black bin liner or two and put the bags in the black general waste, no way am I sifting through the wee'd or the poo'd bits.

Its a nightmare of a job without having to sort it out, a bit for recycling, a bit for the garden and a bit for the general waste. Call me lazy don't care, he has a clean bed to sleep on every night and I pay my council tax, job done.

Re: rabbit rubbish

My rubbish goes in a black bin bag and in the wheelie bin. Iv never thought about whether that was actually allowed or not!! There's a lot of us at home so occasionally our bins get full up and there's no room for my shed rubbish so then I take it to work and put it in the wheelie bin there,there's a pet shop a few doors up and they put theirs in their wheelie bin,it's all collected by the same bin men, so I didn't think it would be a problem if I did it too!
