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!)
This is basically ubiquitous on many public lands, specifically here in the US. The term is “carry in, carry out.” Bins accumulate trash (obviously) which in turn is an attractant for rodents, bears, raccoons, etc. which causes its own problems. Wild animals should not be artificially fed by human trash. Trash can also be blown out of cans, or scattered by animals. Overall, especially for low traffic environments, the best plan is to have people take all their trash out with them.
TL;DR: Pack out your trash.
The problem is parks can’t or won’t hire enough people to empty the bins out.
Because the people paying taxes would rather that money go to actual tangible benefits instead of paying for people’s laziness.
You’re the kind of person who doesn’t return their cart because someone “is paid to do it” aren’t you.
Removing trash is absolutely a tangible benefit.
It shouldn’t be there to begin with, so no it’s not. It’s fixing a problem of lazy populace. Just like needing a dozen cart wranglers at one store for people like you who refuse to return their carts.
Ok but IT IS THERE so maybe get out of your fantasy land where people are decent except for some reason when they see a trash can. In the real world, people fucking litter, so give them a trash can. Don’t care what they should do, they are NOT doing it, so unless you can figure out how to FORCE them to not litter, work with reality and put out a damn trash can.
Lazy people like you litter, and they aren the norm.
Can you imagine how crappy parking lots would be if the majority of people can’t be decent human beings? Same applies to garbage.
If people litter, that’s fine, one or two isn’t that big of a deal, but an overfilling garbage can that 20 other people add on to is.
Do you just think everyone else is as lazy and acts like you do…?
Look, accusing me of being a litterer just because you’re mad you’re wrong is a bad look.
I’m not accusing, you’ve stated in your comments.
I don’t prefer the bin myself, I ONLY use the bin. If there’s not one, I don’t just toss it, I carry it until I find one, since I will ONLY use one.
