Rob, we were in St Andrews a number of years ago ( before our first van) on a nice summers day.
When we went back to the beech carpark to get the car we decided to take a walk along the beech.
The amount of litter left by day trippers was absolutely disgusting.
On another visit during covid to Loch Tay we witnessed miles of rubbish including tents, remnants of fires on the loch shore, and all kinds of stuff floating on the water.
On our last visit to Musselburgh before they banned us, the amount of rubbish left in the car park and the beech by youths in cars was disgraceful.
We are banned now in St Andrews and Musselburgh but those who abused these places with their litter, and anti social behaviour, are free to return.
I'm not disputing any of that Bill, I'm talking about abuse of litter bins and Neil's previous post about Household waste.
A large bag full of waste such as empty soup or baked bean cans, egg cartons, milk cartons etc. etc. is more likely to have come from a motorhome than a car - motorhomes are used as short (or long) term residences, cars are not. So the point I thought Neil was trying to make was that we as motorhomers shouldn't put large bags full of rubbish into public litter bins, these bags fill the bins quickly and then nobody has anywhere to put their rubbish and you get litter. It had never occurred to me that you shouldn't do this before but it makes sense.
Don't ask me what the answer is though, maybe use site bins when you book in to empty your cassette etc.?
