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 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?
It's a cafe area; they are giving you trash with your meal/drink, not providing a bin for it, then expecting you to pack it out.
Expecting people to packout the garbage they brought with them is one thing (that still doesn't get followed); but if you're going to provide the public with trash, you've gotta give them somewhere to dispose of it.
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.
They had some reasonably nice bins with wooden shells around them and spring loaded doors to keep the birds etc out.
That's not how human behavior works...
Someone thinks they're very clever and they aren't.
Just throw it on the ground
I'M AN ADULT
There is a potentially good way to do this, ensure the cafe uses minimal packaging and what packaging is used is compostable. Then just have compost bins.
That's not how this works.
They just don’t want to pay people to empty the bins. Defunding. DEFUNDING!
If you're planning a picnic, you bring your own trash bags, sort your trash, and dispose of it properly. And you will eventually make the effort to produce less rubbish, for example, ask to take your order without napkins or a plastic bag.
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.
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.
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.
Don't buy anything at the cafe if you're not prepared to carry it out, I wouldn't.
So bring our own bin and pickup the stuff other people dropped as well?
When I was visiting England I remember my grandpa and I walking around London looking for a trash can and being shocked at how rare they were compared to the US
One reason that the UK has few trash cans is because of the IRA, a ~~terrorist organization~~[edit: paramilitary organization] that would plant bombs in them. It is kind of a sore point when Americans notice stuff like this, because US citizens were significant donors to the IRA.
N.B. There isn't a reason why you should know this.
See how much garbage you can stack on/wedge into the sign before they put bins back there.
