Bins on site.

While more and more camping sites are changing to the large wheelie bins and recycle bins and siting them well away from their pitches, The CC seem to want to stick to having the rubbish bins dotted about their sites adjacent to water points next to pitches.

Will the CC be changing their policy on where the bins are situated, the reason I am asking is that overflowing small bins, which happens sometimes, attracts vermin.

Next to the entrance or thereabouts is the ideal place. Everyone comes in and out even if only when leaving at the end of your stay - although surely not many stay on site for the whole of their visit if several days. Easy for bin lorries to manoeuvre. Having heard about some of the pretty poor behaviour of kids around the toilet blocks I think lorries as well would be a recipe for disaster. Personally we very rarely use the toilet blocks, we have our own facilities so why would we? We havent met these on a CAMC yet. The only site we have stayed at this year has been New England Bay and the bins were near the service points. However we are used to the concept e.g. at CCC sites. We just stop the van at a convenient place when leaving the site, get out and ditch the rubbish.

I don't disagree with you, having bins near the entrance to the site is the most sensible option. What I was saying is that if people have a genuine difficulty with getting to the bins, without going by car, the Club need to take this into account. It would be perfectly reasonable for the Club to conclude that the new arrangements are the best of several options. However we have been told that it is a trial so what usually happens is that evidence is gathered and decisions made based on that evidence?
