The mysterious disappearing public bin

fritzelly

Where the hell are all the public bins going? Is it aliens, leprechauns, fairies...?

Every time i walk down a street I see another mark on the ground with 4 holes where one used to be
Is it a policy of DCC to completely get out of the refuse business hence exacerbating rubbish on the streets?

the dark phantom

Its to encourage flytipping, Well as crazy as that sound that is the effect of removing bins.

Aliens. Can't be arsed making their own

Seems to be a nationwide phenomenon. Heard it said it was because of household refuse being dumped in and around them.

They were doing in back in 2012 because people were using them for their domestic waste.

So they just dump it on the street regardless, have a lot of it on my street including chip bags, bottles etc just thrown away,. I know it's been going on a while but seems to have ramped up recently in removing them

Bins cause rubbish. Long after they are full people will still leave rubbish near them.

Provide bins: because people are too fcuking cheap to pay for a collection, they fill up with domestic rubbish.

Get rid of bins: as above, but black bags in the ditches.

People are the problem. Can't put bins everywhere either, leading to the eternal excuse for being a messy cnut "ah but shur dere were no bins".

When a bin is decomminsioned it is presumbably dispensed with into a (larger) bin.

Maybe somebody in the Council fell in love with this circuler logic and couldn't help themselves turning more and more bins in to rubish.

Its all the solar powered bins on the streets now. Very difficult to fit a golf umbrella in them but you can have a good go.

In Japan there are no Public bins.

You bring your rubbish home. This is a concept completely lost on the Irish, just look at any of the beaches in the summer time.

Dumping/Littering is one of the most disgusting things you can do.

I have taken issue with 2 Irish people in recent times, 1 accidentally and 1 otherwise dropping their rubbish around Sandymount walk. The first one was an accident, person looked back, saw they had dropped a tissue, and walked ahead. I said "I think you dropped something there" and they didn't give a **** and walked ahead. People in their 60s/70s, I'm sure picking up their rubbish was below them and something for the riff raff.

Indeed, people are the problem. If there's no bins, you bring it home. But its easy to blame no bin.

And what are we supposed to do with the dog poo after it has been picked up in the plastic bag? We need more poo bins instead, can't throw domestic rubbish in them!

We cant have niceties like public bins or toilets because they are abused by a small minority. Pathetic state of affairs. Littering and vandalism need to be punished by sentencing offenders to public works programmes....

Hanging it from a fence seems to be popular.

Agreed more dog waste bins would be a good thing but you can just bring it home. I do it every day, there are no bins where I walk my dog.

Not bothering your arse to pick up after your dog is even more popular unfortunately. Although probably better long term as the dog waste will degrade quickly while the plastic bag will not.
