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 dunno about you, but if I see a bin in a public area, I assume some is paid to empty it. I don’t empty it myself.

      If you took your own garbage with you like a decent human, there would be no bins to be emptied and you would have better uses for that tax money.

      Where did I imply the public should be doing it….?

        So your entire argument is public bins are useless?

        You understand that people should clean up after themselves whether or not there is a bin, but offering a bin is a useful service that greatly helps people out can be compatible right.

          The cafe has a bin inside of it, put your garbage there before leaving.

          They removed the bins from the public forestry path.

            Not everyone is using the cafe? People are allowed not to eat in a private restaurant. The availability of a bin shouldn’t be dependent on spending money.

              If you’re not eating at the cafe, what you bring with you, you should bring out with you. Why should someone else clean up and taxpayers foot the bill for the garbage you brought to a park?

              And no I never said public bins were useless, I was responding to a specific comment. Don’t put words in my mouth.

              Be a decent human and clean up after yourself.

        So, I agree with you, but them providing bins implies they’re going to be responsible and empty them, and people should feel free to use them. They shouldn’t have to try to predict which cans are fine to use and which ones aren’t.

        This post is them doing the correct thing if they aren’t going to do that, and it isn’t an issue. Put your trash in your pocket or your backpack or something. It isn’t hard.
