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!)

Think I found the problem— why not do the obvious thing and empty them more often?
Who’s gonna do it and pay for it?
If people weren’t such babies and cleaned up after themselves, we wouldn’t need to waste taxpayers money on cleaning up after adults who could do it themselves.
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, 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.
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.
Sounds like there's a bunch of people and some kind of organisation that runs this area, after all, they made the decision to take the bins away. This is also a cafe area, so someone's making money off this zone.
THOSE PEOPLE ARE.
Yes… the sign is from the forest ministry no? So the government that your tax money pays for would be dealing with it.
If this was a businesses garbage, those usually aren’t overrun, since they have plenty of time and money to deal with the garbage.
But government agencies…? Give your head a shake bud.
great. good.
???
Me, via my taxes I would expect.
The problem isn't that a park removed their trash cans. The problem is that a cafe removed their trash cans.
The cafe still has garbage cans inside, and why would the forestry speak for the cafe…? The sign is from the ministry of forestry, why would you claim the cafe removed the bins when they stated THEY did themselves?
It’s like people just make shit up to get mad about. The sign told you who removed it for fucks sakes lmfao.
What makes you think the cafe still has bins inside? The OP here is claiming the bins were removed from the cafe/picnic area.
Because they legally have to? You can’t have a food service business and not have garbage and recycling bins….
Are you just gonna make up any stupid reason you can come up with now to try and save face that you can’t read a sign?
The OP also claims there is still trash bins inside; and the edit to add this information was done 1 hour before this guy claims there is no bins inside 🤦♂️.
So they can't afford to keep the land they have in trust so it is all the landless peasantry that should labor for the land holders because kindness ?
Wild argument. No one is "laboring for land holders", they're cleaning up after themselves for their own good and the good of everyone/thing around them
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.
That's literally the patio of a commercial place that sells food enclosed in trash.
If they rely on volunteers to clean the trash, a lot of people are doing lots of things very wrong.
Because that would mean employing someone to empty them regularly, and as most woodland is few and far between in this country most woodland owners deem that an unnecessary expense.
There’s a cafe and forestry workers, is it that time consuming?
In this instance, yes, but which is why I said the cafe worker should have an internal bin for customer usage. In most other cases there is no one on site for weeks at a time.
Didn’t realise visits would be so irregular, so I apologise for the sarcasm.
Also hate that people are shit.
And how do they get the garbage to the dump? You would need vehicles, insurance, garage, maintenance departments… it all snowballs.
Just be responsible for your own garbage, not a hard concept.
The cafe will have a contract with someone to take away waste, this waste could be included.
I totally agree people should take away rubbish that they create, unfortunately many dont.
Public waste wouldn’t be included in the cafes waste, you expecting them to foot the bill?
Sounds like the cafe is run by forestry England. If they don’t want thick and lazy people to chuck waste around the forest and cafe area, I think they should provide bins. Unfortunately, some people don’t care.
What makes you think the cafe is run by the forestry?
.. From their café/picnic area
Says “their” in the comment when you open the post.
If you run a business, you generally dispose of waste that that business produces, if there’s a sit in area provided.
Yeah dude, OP is an idiot and lied to make this post, you seriously expecting them to know that the restaurant and park aren’t the same…?
They do? Inside the cafe. You are not suggesting that a food business would be going against the law and their business license by not having them for their own personal use are you…? Right….?
They most likely removed the bins so the people in the park with their vehicle waste and granola bars weren’t filling it up…. Or people from the cafe were filling up the public bin, making a private business a public issue. Both aren’t good situations.
Yeah, I looked it up. Taking away bins and then moaning about litter is moronic though, cause too many people are dickheads.
