New Waste Arrangements

I agree  but then others are querying that the phs vans that collect the bins from club sites would not be classed as clinical waste

But there is not in the eyes of those who have to dispose of it

JVB can I ask why you are continuing to discuss clinical waste on a discussion about large bins and general waste?

I would think it's now 50/50 on sites we visit now to find either large bins in a designated area or smaller bins dotted around. If it saves time to have the larger bins it sounds like a sensible idea. 

You needed to follow how the thread was going to keep up

Just a bit of an up date on waste collection

After a caravan was written off when a refuse truck got entangled with it on a site ,a blanket ban? on those vehicles is In place for them to pick up waste containers. except in the place on sites that refuse is normally collected, so even if the large bins are put in place of dustbins at the service points ,which would still entail getting site staff getting the big bins to the normal refuse vehicles pick up point,

Also the majority of sites have large skips for the rubbish to be picked up from by contractors

It seems to the only solution for those who find carrying a small bag of rubbish to a bin once a day, is to include a personal dustbin on a serviced pitch. 

Maybe it is also time for the Club to provide a full janitor service, for those who are unable/ too idle to carry out the normal daily tasks on a site.

The personal dustbin would need a lock, otherwise it would be full when you went to use it.🤔

Bins by the gate are certainly the way to go. Although perhaps the sites could improve there green credentials by doing some composting. Many sites have an area where they dump the grass cuttings. Set up a compost bin and encourage its use. One site we stopped on in a France had such a bin. It seemed well and sensibly used.😀

There is as much chance of some site users using composting areas as there is trying to get them to use the different bins in the service points, even if as most club site labelled as to what to put in them

Sutton on sea site the local farmer collects all the grass cuttings for his livestock to eat

I would agree there would be problems convincing some to use it. However, I don’t think you would get the problem of it being used for the wrong items. The one in France wasn’t next to the normal bins, so anyone wanting to use it  had to make a special effort. Quite a few did. There were clear pictorial instructions on what could / couldn’t be deposited.
