New Waste Arrangements

The problem for the disabled is a red herring. Apart from assistance being readily offered my observation is it is unusual to see an outfit without an able bodied person with it. In the case of a couple it is usual to see only one of them with difficulties.

Carrying glass bottles all the way across site will potentially lead to more glass breakage too.

If there are several bits of recycling I tend to use a bag, paper packaging can escape, particularly if windy. So the likelihood of dropping anything is reduced. I suspect anyone having to carry multiple glass objects would do this even now. More so if they had to walk to the gate.

I was simply responding to the suggestion by some other person that sharps are being disposed of in general waste.  I agree that people who normally use them are well schooled and equipped for their safe disposal, and I speak from first hand knowledge.  However, if sharps are being wrongly "dumped" then providing a proper disposal point is a very simple thing to do similar to the provision for the disposal of sanitary products and nappies, etc.  Do kids play with those?

We provide dog waste bins too but..................

Those tall communal bins I dislike intensely and find difficult to use.

I used to have a very small size sharps box in the caravan for when I was monitoring blood sugar. Very convenient

.Ditto...and some continental sites even give you a refuse bag on arrival (for general use) and renewed free of charge whenever you you take your full bag to the refuse point....

As said in previous post....cannot believe the club has not introduced this before...as should making all pitches fully serviced. It is becoming almost impossible to book a serviced pitch at  sites where they are offered....which proves the point....Many CL's are taking this approach now, having 'listened to members feedback' !!

"I am also not sure that local authorities do collect sharps boxes as we have to dispose of ours at the surgery"

Our's does, the only aspect of this I do not like is that you have to leave at your front door the evening before collection and mysteriously it has vanished and replaced by a new one by the next morning , unlikely anyone would want to steal a full sharps box but it just feels a bit unsafe.

It is not easy to judge folks ability at a glance. I do not class  my self as disabled in the least but certainly less able. If the lid mechanism was better designed with a smaller, lighter hatch section towards the front they would be far easier.
