Title: Changes in rubbish and rubbish clearance? Post by: grahame on July 08, 2010, 06:27:37 I noticed last night that the clear plastic bin liner that hangs by the fence at my home station as our rubbish bin was nearly full last night - I've never seen it get to anything like that stage before. And I wonder if this is because ...
a) There's more traffic b) In the hot weather, more rubbish is being generated per person c) Someone cleaned out their car at the station while waiting for a passenger to arrive by train d) Station cleaning and rubbish clearance isn't happening as often as it use to e) Some other reason The clear bag of rubbish, exhibited for all to see, in unsightly ... but I understand it has to be this way for security reasons (I noted they don't have the same problem in Germany, where the rubbish isn't more prominent than some of the information boards!), and it's good to see that people are using it and it's not actually overflowing - just 80% full. The station cleaning's not a problem at the moment - but I noticed this difference and wondered if it's unique to our neck of the woods, or if others have noticed any changes?
