They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

I used to work for the Woodland Trust and believe that this is the right thing to do. Bins in woodlands do not get emptied often and will often overflow and attract unwanted pests like rats. Rats will also eat the eggs of ground nesting birds and cause other environmental issues.

If they are selling food on site then the food vendor should have a bin that their customers can use inside their cabin/cafe and dispose of the waste daily as part of the service.

Think I found the problem— why not do the obvious thing and empty them more often?

[–] abigscaryhobo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Genuine answer here, as someone who volunteers for the parks. A lot of times the budgets are tight, depending on whose responsibility it is to clean up the area and what services are there/nearby, the staffing just isn't available. Yeah it's a pretty easy thing to do in theory, but in practice when it becomes "okay and 2 hours of your shift is driving out there and emptying the cans" it's not a far leap to just "Remove the cans, make the snack stand dispose of their garbage on their own"

I mean I get it, the cans are nice but also, like you're an adult. Throw your trash away on your own.

"But then people will throw it on the ground!" Okay then pay someone to stand out there and slap every idiot that thinks littering is okay because they couldn't find a can in 10 seconds.

It's common decency in plenty of places around the world to take your garbage with you until you find a can. It's not hard.

It’s common decency in plenty of places around the world to take your garbage with you until you find a can.

But you've removed all the cans rather than fix your budgeting problems.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m sure the parking lot or your house has one. Why do you think other people should pay for your laziness to dispose of your own garbage?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's the function of the parks service. And it's taxpayer money, so it's my money paying for it too.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

So now instead of them being able to provide other services they need to continue piddling money away so you can be lazy and throw your trash where you please?

People don’t want to pay more taxes so you can just be lazy and need garbage cans every 20 feet dude… shitty take lmfao. They would much rather the money go to making things better, not perpetuating laziness and creating eyesores.

Do you think people like seeing and smelling garbage bins while taking a nature walk?! Seriously?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Better than seeing trash everywhere dude

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They already have to because of the bins… remove them and people remove their garbage and all of a sudden. No garbage to look at it, no bins, no smell, no rodents and a pristine park.

And you WANT to ruin it with excessive garbage cans to ease your laziness?

You don’t return carts after shopping either I bet.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

remove them and people remove their garbage

This is some cute magical thinking

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Works plenty of places, but of course a lazy ignorant mook like you wouldn’t be able to realize it.

Check Japan out for some precedence dude….

[–] macaw_dean_settle@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Bad example. People often complain about this in Japan.

This is right by the cafe/site office/car park though. The reception desk is about 20m to the left and staffed during daylight hours year round.

Not like it's in the middle of nowhere.

I get your point, there are very few bins elsewhere (mostly by the other car parks) and that's fine. It's just that the place that gives you rubbish makes it hard to responsibly get rid of it.

[–] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Isn't there a bin at the cafe?

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think that's the problem. I interpret it as the cafe removed their bins.

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It’s a sign from the forest ministry, they removed their bins.

Why on earth would you think a sign from the ministry of forestry would be speaking for and removing a cafes bins…?

Read the fucking sign for fucks sakes. It’s literally, right fucking there.

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Read the fucking post for fucks sake. It's right fucking there.

The sign says the bins were removed. The post headline says the bins were removed from the cafe area. This is a cafe at a visitor center at a forest.

Before you go insulting the reading comprehension of others, try working on your own.
