Disappearing Dustbins

One answer is to speak to the warden either on arrival or shortly afterwards, explain the issue and ask if there is a solution. My guess is most wardens will be able to offer a suitable resolution.

but also write to the club to specifically ask what there answer is.

I much prefer the centralised bins. You don’t get the noisy tractors around as much, nor the sound of all the wine bottles being disposed of late at night. When we were at Clumber a few weeks ago, the staff checked the big bins each morning, so I am sure anything left there at an appropriate time (not overnight), they could simply put in. But the best thing to do is simply talk to them, see what they suggest. Not all sites are using the centralised bin system either.
I’m sure this isn’t an insurmountable problem with some decent communication.🙂

All the bins need are a smaller top opening port, rather than having to lift the whole lid. But if it’s a waste collection contract, it might be that the Club has to go with the bins provided. I’ve seen huge wheelie bins with a sort of port hole on the top. There are all sorts of different designs.

Not everyone sorts their rubbish though. The general waste bin at Clumber was full of pizza boxes the night the pizza van had been. It was right next to the paper/cardboard bin, of the same proportions.🤷‍♀️

The wardens duties certainly include helping those staying on site and the amount of reviews posted that say wardens are extremely helpful with various problems certainly prove that. 

this is not new, I emailed the club about it 2 years ago. I had a reply but it was of no help. I asked the wardens on one site  as apart from the bins being heavy and high, when the wind is coming in a certain direction, I have no chance of lifting the lid. I was told to leave my bag of rubbish beside the bins, it didn't work if the wind was high. The last time we were at Malvern, they also had 2 small bins beside the large ones for waste and recycling for folk like me and Linda the OP. Not too difficult to do is it?

At home we cannot put takeaway pitza boxes in the card and paper bin they go in the general waste.

Same here, the pizza boxes are banned as they are greasy.

These big bins were in use on CCC sites quite a while before appearing on CAMC sites, many CCC sites had a smaller regular bin for those of us who struggle with using the huge bins.

It is now a legal requirement in Wales for all businesses to separate all recyclable waste into specific bins. Not sure how this effects clubsites, as we have only stayed on English sites since this began in April. We are due shortly to begin a month long tour of north and west Wales sites so we will soon find out. Incidentally, all domestic waste from our development is collected from one central waste compound  where large wheely bins are used, some more elderly or less able residents are unable to lift the lids to deposit said waste leading to unsightly and often vermin attacked have which are not picked up by council waste operatives.

A couple of points, tda. Not every recycling company will accept pizza boxes in with the cardboard packaging because of the excessive grease and cooked cheese stuck to the boxes. we have that restriction at home.

On the commercial site we use at Linlithgow their large bins all have circular holes in their tops big enough to push a waste bag through, with rubber flaps to stop rodents etc accessing the waste, and at the C&CC site we used recently their bin lids were kept open at one end by the use of a home made L shaped wedge which have to opening of the bin lid sufficient to put ones waste in much easier.
