stephenh Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Can I put grey squirrels in the brown (composting) wheelie bin, or do they have to go in the black (general waste) wheelie bin? We have just had our black bin emptied this morning, so it won't be emptied for another 2 weeks, and I'm afraid they might get rather smelly. Anyone know the answer?

Captain Colonial Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Squirrels are biodegradable and make good fertisiler so yes, put it in the composting bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 When we have spare small mammal carcasses (courtesy of the cat) we put them on the garden wall for these local scavengers. They have been known to grab a squirrel en passant so to speak... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tisme Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Now that's what I call feeding the birds in the garden !! (I bet even the cat keeps his head down when that comes in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'll put them in the brown bin then! Dom, they'll be dead before they go in the bin. They mostly die of lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I bet even the cat keeps his head down when that comes in) Oh yes! My Good Lady puts odd scraps of meat trimmings (fat, skin, etc) on the wall and they swoop down like Stukas while she's still putting it on the wall. I hear mutterings on the TV news (C4) that some say there are too many now. Well not as far as we are concerned - they're spectacular and beautiful.
