Centralised rubbish points

Our static site has always had one bin disposal point, never think anything of it. Row of bins for rubbish, row for all recycle and 6 smaller bins for glass. Nice that the recycle bins get filled at the same rate as the rubbish ones. Always amazed at how many bottles in the glass bins, but I suppose people are on holiday. We use a lightweight basket bin for our recycle, kept by the door, just empty it into the recycle so no plastic bags put in, it gets filled up quicker than our rubbish bin. Always a quick chat to neighbours on the way there or back.

Even after you encouraged folk on another forum to come here and vote, it still went with b and c. Well, there you go - happy days👍

New Waste Arrangements

My suggestion would be a compromise, as seems to be what has been adopted at Freshwater East.  Rather than having rubbish point at every 'service point' or just having rubbish at the entrance (as at Pembrey), my suggestion would be to have rubbish points at each toilet block?  Disabled members already have the option of 'disabled pitches' which, by and large, are close to toilet blocks.  This would mean that those who are in this situation would be close to the amenities block + rubbish disposal.  I thought it worked well at Freshwater, but wasn't so keen at the set-up at Pembery.

DSB, that used to be the case at White Water Park, but I don't know if that is still the case.

Personally I am in favour of choice "c", as I have no problem with walking my rubbish to a specific refuse disposal point. The walk just adds to my daily steps count!😆

Trouble with bins by toilet blocks means refuse wagons coming on site and children running around don’t mix

And just how many children have you seen who have come into collision with a refuse wagon on site? I think you give both the wagon drivers and the children on site less intelligence than they actually possess. 

It's generally the site staff who collect the rubbish/ recycling within the site and move it to the point where the 'extenal bin man' collects it.  I would have thought the site staff would be sensative towards the clientelle on site.  After saying that, I may have in the back of my mind that children are discouraged from playing around the toilet blocks.  I'm sure parents wouldn't see the toilet block area as a suitable place for children to play.

BTW... we arrived at Hunter's Moon CAMC site yesterday.  We'd booked a serviced pitch and there were only a couple free when we arrived.  We're pitch right next to a service point....  guess what I can see... ?  🤣🤣🤣  Lots of nice, clearly labelled, rubbish bins!!

They still have bins at every service point here at Hunters Moon...
