Emptying toilet cassette onto grass verge

[Channa]

The reason why the dealers r not interested in setting up dump sites is like the state they have a vested interest in ppl using sites it's a cosy little click between them .

Not sure about that assumption LT, consider the increase in potential water costs, sewage disposal etc, plus the investment of the waste point itself, where is the return on the investment ?

I dont think for a moment there would be a noticeble increase in revenue from accessory departments etc.

Some people genuinely do not realise what they are doing, some are as said 'hirers' , maybe first -time with no guide has to how to go about things, these people if seen could be approached and nicely informed of their wrong doings and how best to tackle said problem i.e. wait till dark or quiet spot then take wc to an hedgerow and empty , giving the reasons why. If the culprits are veterans , they should be photographed and named and shamed.....no excuse.

Surely more dump sites will make for less incidents of dumping on the grass verge. This will mean less hassle from non-motorhomers and all those who don't like raw sewage on their verges. This will mean less people complaning about about motorhomers, less legislation against motorhomes and more people wanting to BUY motorhomes.

It's a really long-term view but surely more attention given to education by dealers and hire companies now will lead to better relations and cleaner verges in the future. Even a simple photo-copied pamphlet of basic dos and dont's will surely reap rewards over time.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS BEHAVOUR.

will ye all listen to yourselfs blaming everyone else but the culprit.
how much education do they need to know that it is wrong.
how would they like it if someone S**T outside their front door.

and nobody knows exactly what the alledged culprit was really doing. so your all just pissing in the wind

Agreed. And your solution is what exactly tony???

that is the 1,000 doller question.
a friend of mine who owned a shop had a problem of someone dumping bags of rubbish in the litter bin outside the door of the shop.
he kept an eye out & discoverd who was doing it.
the next time the bag of rubbish was left he got in his car & hung the bag on that persons gate before he got home.
that was the end of that.
it would not be practicle to do that in the case of someone emptying a toilet from a camper as they could be from the other end of the country.

i think if we see someone doing something like this approach them & politly without arguing point out what they are doing wrong & ask to please not do it again.
if they argue with you & tell you to mind your business or something similar tell them you are reporting them & do report them hopefully with pictures & reg no.
i drive a motorbike, on 1 occasion i had a driver flick a lighted fag butt out the window in front of me.
when i pointed out what he had done & the danger of it he was so sorry as he did not realise he had done anything wrong.
sometimes the polite way just might work instead of barging in like a raging bull.

I don't see the problem with dumping small bags of rubbish (ie Carrier bags) in litter bins and at Laybyes.

It should be remembered that not everyone who uses a camper van has access to waste disposal at home. I try to get rid of bottles/cans etc in the recycling at Tescos or elsewhere but there is often a small amount of non recyclable waste that needs to be disposed of on the move. Roadside waste bins are an acceptable place - we all pay our road taxes and other taxes to finance these.

True enough, but Tony was pointing out that this bin had been provided by the shop & it was the same person (living nearby) that was filling it.

We use carrier bags for our rubbish, so they are quite small when full. As we move around every day & fill them only every couple of days I would not expect them to be an issue, altho I certainly wouldn't be piling it on top of an already full bin as I have seen others do. It doesn't hurt to carry a tied up plastic bag in a locker for a day or two until you find a suitable spot for disposal.

 

[Smaug]

Unless of course the cassette had been full for a day or three previously!!! Eeeeeuwwww.

What on earth are you drinking? Can I have some please as your posts do not make any sense to sober people. :dance:

are you sure he said it was provided by the shopkeeper i havent read that .it says a bin outside his shop . not that the shop provided it .
sounds like a miserable shop keeper .best not buy in that shop.

 

[Smaug]

Keep up uncle Albert. There have been posts of bin bags being pressed (sic) into service when the cassette overunneth.

Savvy?

Fairy Nuff, I hadn't realised you had fallen so far behind the drift.

I think that this Eribavan is as gormless as that other fella that used to be on here.

What was his name Dennis, Denzil? :idea: .... ah now I remember, Derek.

Don't pick on the wee fella, probably stuck on his Sun crossword.

I always make a point of emptying my cassette in a disabled WC using my illegal Radar Key......

i always empty the cassette whenever i come across public toilets regardless of how much or little is in it.
that way its ok if we dont find toilets for a day or two.
alwas be prepared think ahead, like driving always be thinking ahead it will get you out of some "sticky" situations.
let common sense prevail.

hi tony . thanks for verifying that it wasnt clear in the beginning and smaug could only have took a guess.
cheers

I'm not sure local councils, parishes, whatever, would take too kindly to using public toilets for motorhome toilet disposal.

 

[vwalan]

thats what they are there for . clean up any splashes though.
20 craps is 20 craps . could be a bus just stopped . that could be twenty flushes . you may only use one .

i dont see why not it would be better than emptying it on the side of the road or on the rocks.
always clean up after yourself & leave the place as good or better than you found it.
