Staying on the Willingcott site I discovered that the rubbish bins had been moved from the service points to a centralised area near reception.
A fellow camper informed me that he had seen this happening on other club sites.
Is this a new policy being rolled out ?
Perhaps people would care to comment on this thread with a simple :
a. I don't like it OR
b. I don't mind.
I'll start with :
I don't like it

Plastic,glass, metal cans,cardboard,general rubbish organic and larger metal items like broken camping chairs etc quite a job being a "goody goody"

If this innovation is successful in getting members/paying customers to take all rubbish and recycling to a central point surely the next step is to provide only one chemical disposal point, followed by there being a single drain and one tap.

Its is also a cost saving measure if you add up the amount of black & clear bags used by every site & the diesel used by the tractors it will be a fair amount

Evening
So central bin points then. For clarity that was never introduced during covid, back then it was all about social distancing not encouraging people to gather.
We don't use plastic dustbins.
Willingcott site is a 150 pitch site with 5 service points (I've worked there before and helped build the new bin point this year). During a normal summer season, emptying the bins twice daily will use approx. 90 bags which in todays terms would cost around £70 per week.
It's another of many trials to see how having a central point goes on sites and so far 4 months on it has been very well received.
I will be adopting it next year.
