DOG owners are being urged not to put their pet's excrement in ordinary litter bins.
Wychavon District Council says its contractors are finding a lot of dog mess in ordinary litter bins and it is asking people to make sure they use the proper poop bins instead, which are emptied by specialist contractors.
The teams emptying ordinary litter bins do not have the special health and safety equipment to tackle dog mess and Wychavon's client services manager, Sharon Casswell, said: "For health and safety reasons we are making this plea to ensure our contractors are not put at risk."
