They sell things that come in cups, or with napkins. Lots of people cycle/run/walk here instead of driving, seems pretty stupid.

Taking away the bins doesn't mean you don't produce rubbish....

Edit: I think there is still a bin IN the cafe, but most people eat/drink outside. Lots of people asking staff where the bins are. Still hypocritical I think though? (And still mildly infuriating to remove well used bins!)

If you operate a business that sells things in paper plates and wrappers, you certainly have a moral responsibility to have waste receptacles to collect those waste products.

The problem isn't that a park lacks trash cans. The problem is that a cafe removed their trash bins.

    I feel the same way, but about places that sell coffee having an obligation to provide a public bathroom.

    Let us sing praise for the Rhineland Palatinatian Landesverordnung zur Ausführung des Gaststättengesetzes (Gaststättenverordnung - GastVO -), in effect since 1971, which mandates one toilet each for males and females in every restaurant or pub, and more for larger establishments.

    The he cafe still has bins inside, they have a way to collect their refuse.

    The park removed the bins since people from the cafe weee likely overfilling it.

    Where does the sign say the cafe removed them…? The sign is from the ministry of forestry and speaks only for what they did. Remove the park bins.

    You’re the one vehemently claiming the cafe removed the bins. So I throw that right back in your ignorant face.

    For my side, we have a nice little sign that explains everything, if you would be arsed to read it that is…
