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!)
Going from OPs description as the sign doesn’t show the area. There is a couple benches in the background, which leads me to believe it’s reasonably accurate.
Obv the situation is a little different if OPs not being honest.
Even then, the cafe will take your garbage and put in their bin. They don’t want their refuse filled up with public waste as the charge would fall on them.
Clearly they have a way of still dealing with waste…. And why wouldn’t they take their own waste back? People are going off the deep end without even stopping to think for half a fucking second.
Or… You could just put a bin where the public can use it.
This is stupid.
Where animals can get at it and throw it all over the park?
Or you could just be a decent human and take your refuse with you? But again, the cafe will gladly take your garbage, so what’s your point here? Just bloviating? Or just too lazy to walk another 20 feet to cafe to dispose of the garbage?
Sorry it’s not convenient for how lazy you are.
This has been a solved problem for decades. Animal resistant bins have been standard in parks for ages.
Just one of literally hundreds of examples: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/bear-proof-garbage-bins-made-in-lethbridge-1.4542351
Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. Either way, I’d have to wait in line or skip ahead+interrupt staff and the waiting customers instead of just putting the garbage that I was given into a provided bin out front.
I agree with the concept of ‘pack in, pack out’, if you brought it to a site, you take it back out with you. But If I go to a location and am given garbage while I’m there, I expect there to be somewhere I can dispose of it. I’m not packing more home than I brought with me.
I’m also not saying there should be bins all throughout the forest; just in this context where it’s effectively a food court, not providing a bin is ridiculous.
Key word being resistant dude…. They aren’t animal PROOF and they don’t always work. So no it’s not actually “solved” there’s a solution, that just kinda works okay, but still doesn’t stop the problem fully.
Also this absolute nugget…
If you’re at a park and eating from a cafe, unless you stand there and eat it. The expectation should be to deal with your own garbage……
