Comment on The gentrified forest near me removed the bins. .. From their café/picnic area
FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 days agoI 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 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. Our 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.

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.
