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!)

It's like my university campus removing all ashtrays to stop people from smoking.

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.

You can always take your trash with you instead of expecting someone else to take it for you. The culture of throwing shit away instead of reusing, and reducing, is so ubiquitous, that's the infuriating thing.

It mildly infuriates me that you can't see the logic in taking your rubbish with you when you leave.

You're weird for not knowing the OP's actual point?

Why can’t they have a dumpster with lid?

People are just going to litter if they didn’t plan ahead to bring a trash bag.

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 10 points 6 days ago

They had some reasonably nice bins with wooden shells around them and spring loaded doors to keep the birds etc out.

I fully support the choice to remove the bins. I visited a beauty spot in Scotland recently that has a coffee van in the carpark. The young couple I took there went to add their empty cups to the already overflowing bin, and were baffled when I insisted they take them to the car, which was ten steps away. "But there's a bin!" Yes you numpties, and the wind is already spreading its contents everywhere. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

This is an interesting read:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0272494421001225?via=ihub

For some context: This paper discusses how more trash cans negatively impact how people perceive a natural space, but removing them without providing effective signage may increase litter.

A combination of effective signage and having easily accessible bins (for staff to maintain) near park entries and exits lowered the amount of litter and improved how people perceived the natural space.

It's been this way as long as I can remember down at Moors Valley. From my limited observations there, it surprisingly works much better than you might expect.

[–] AoxoMoxoA@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yeah I have seen a lot of trash cans in public parks that get ransacked by wildlife. Raccoons or even crows throwing all the trash out to get into a bag of fast food.

If someone can carry loaded food packaging in they should bring their own bag and pack it all out. It is probably better to lighten the load on the forestry workers by having a smaller number of receptacles available.

I wouldn't be mildly infuriated by this at all. I try to pick up any trash I see anyhow. It is convenient but doesn't bother me if I take it home and get rid of it there .

That's not how this works.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

So bring our own bin and pickup the stuff other people dropped as well?

[–] gnygnygny@lemm.ee 5 points 5 days ago

Geniuses have no understanding of how some people can be dirty.

[–] fuamerikkka@lemm.ee 7 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Think it's a mentality as well.

Had a friend in high school and after the drive in we went to, I cleaned up my trash and threw it away. My friend said "why are you doing that, they pay people to do that" and proceeded to leave her trash.

Didn't stay friends, but who the f thinks that way?

Entitled Amerikkkans.... that's who.

Pick up your own trash.

Not other people's trash.

YOUR OWN.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I will absolutely pick up other peoples trash if it’s somewhere like the wilderness. They should have picked it up themselves but I’m there now and that trash shouldn’t be there.
