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!)

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.

[-] FundMECFSResearch 36 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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….?

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 hours ago

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.

[-] FundMECFSResearch 27 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

They removed the bins from the public forestry path.

[-] FundMECFSResearch 8 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Who’s gonna do it and pay for it?

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.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

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.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

he forest ministry no? So the government that your tax money pays for would be dealing with it.

great. good.

But government agencies…? Give your head a shake bud.

Me, via my taxes I would expect.

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 7 points 23 hours ago

The problem isn't that a park removed their trash cans. The problem is that a cafe removed their trash cans.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

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.

[-] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 3 points 22 hours ago

What makes you think the cafe still has bins inside? The OP here is claiming the bins were removed from the cafe/picnic area.

[-] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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?

[-] AlDente@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

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 🤦‍♂️.

[-] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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 ?

[-] Lux 6 points 23 hours ago

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
