Nottinghamshire :Sherwood Pines site is going to remove dog bins

[arista]

This Stinks.


[One visitor to the site, Steven Williams,
told the BBC that people would
want to dispose of dog mess in "some way".
The 56-year-old from Codnor Park
said: "Human nature is not to carry
a bag of dog poo around with you all day.]

Shocking decision, if there are no bins people will either not bother picking up or pick up and chuck the bag in the forest

[Zizu]

The local council moved a doggie bin about a year ago - situated on a busy main road .

After two weeks there were around a HUNDRED filled doggie bags tied on the fence where there was a pelican crossing . .. the smell prevented people from using the crossing !!

They put the bin back soon after

…it’s not just Nottinghamshire and it’s not just dog bins…I’ve noticed in a few tourist areas on the coast that there are very few public bins and it feels as though some have been removed…I fear the outcome won’t be less rubbish being generated but just more littering on the streets…every day in every way we are regressing…

It's what everyone does any way.

Good decision from the sounds of it.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Alex Dunderdale from Warwickshire agreed with the idea and said: "There's nothing worse than seeing overloaded bins. It encourages flies and wasps and people have got to be more responsible for their own litter."
Bullsh1t - forests are jam full of flies and it will attract ZERO wasps

"They often overflow faster than we can empty them, and they attract wildlife, spreading litter and harming animals."

Not if collected properly, just like any other bin

Mr Maclean said Forestry England had recently invested "heavily" in things such as play areas and changing facilities.

changing facilities?

We think and hope that our visitors would agree that being able to do these types of things is a much better way of using our limited resources on site, than spending a lot of time and resources in dealing with waste and litter," he said.

Dont talk bollocks

This is a cost cutting exercise which will result in the exact problems they have made up to justify their decision

Yes No Bin

Means No Staff needed to collect the rubbish


It is Stupid and Greedy of the Councils

Yeah I don’t get doing away with bins/dog poo bins.

That said, one thing really does bug me in the countryside when people leave their rubbish behind. Like you’ve carried it all that way with the product in it so it’s actually lighter now. Take it with you and pop it in a bin and don’t be a lazy scumbag. :fist:

I don’t get it? Why??

[Crimson Dynamo]

I don’t get it? Why??

In a meeting about saving money the cost of employing people to empty the bins was brought up and someone (not a dog walker) said "why cant they take it home with them and we will save all this money?" "We would say its more environmentally friendly" another said and so they decided to do that safe in the knowledge that no one in the meeting would get any blame.

[arista]

Yes to save money on staff

If there are no dog poo bins, I take home my dog's crap and bin it unless it's a wild piece of ground, then I'll bury it. Plenty of things crap on wild land, I think burying it is a better idea - agree with LT. But I'm sure we've all seen full dog poo bags hanging in trees. I mean, who do these people think comes and collects it? Why would you do that...? WHY?
