dogbins outnumber standard rubbish bins in the parks and country walks around Abingdon. The dogbins come in one of two colours: red ones from the Town Council,

and green ones from the district council; but underneath the livery they have the same design. There is a foot peddle to lift the lid, and a handle to attach a doglead.

The district council also stick little notices on posts to say that there are fines for people not clearing dog mess – maximum £1000.
