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 used to work for the Woodland Trust and believe that this is the right thing to do. Bins in woodlands do not get emptied often and will often overflow and attract unwanted pests like rats. Rats will also eat the eggs of ground nesting birds and cause other environmental issues.

    If they are selling food on site then the food vendor should have a bin that their customers can use inside their cabin/cafe and dispose of the waste daily as part of the service.

      This is right by the cafe/site office/car park though. The reception desk is about 20m to the left and staffed during daylight hours year round.

      Not like it’s in the middle of nowhere.

      I get your point, there are very few bins elsewhere (mostly by the other car parks) and that’s fine. It’s just that the place that gives you rubbish makes it hard to responsibly get rid of it.

            It’s a sign from the forest ministry, they removed their bins.

            Why on earth would you think a sign from the ministry of forestry would be speaking for and removing a cafes bins…?

            Read the fucking sign for fucks sakes. It’s literally, right fucking there.

              Read the fucking post for fucks sake. It’s right fucking there.

              The sign says the bins were removed. The post headline says the bins were removed from the cafe area. This is a cafe at a visitor center at a forest.
