I imagine they don't want people leaving their crap at the gate for the employees to have to discard appropriately when they open. | | | | | Though hardly user friendly when they are only open a couple of hours a week. Often stuff is dumped outside exactly for this reason. |

Does no.7 include bus stops? I really hope so.

This could happen easily. |

| | Re: Some new fines coming into force in 2020 | Quote: | |  | | | How do you use it if it closed? What do people do, just dump the stuff outside the entrance?  | | | | | We have a small recycling area in our village that is not locked. It is part of a parking lot for apartments and a business. There are signs posted about the hours, but technically one could drive in and dump stuff any time since they can't very well block people from getting to their flats. However, the curtain twitchers would probably report anyone who dared to dump outside of designated hours.
The only things you can dump are glass, plastic, aluminum and clothes/shoes, so it's not a huge area where stuff piles up. All rubbish has to go in the designated bags and bins, and all paper/cardboard/large items have to be put out on the curb on designated days. We receive a calendar each year with dates of what goes out when.

In an ideal world, people shouldn't need a fine so they could respect some common sense rules. In an ideal word..:-)

But this also applies to bottle banks which are accessible 24/7 but should only be used during certain posted hours. The people living close by will thank you. | | | | | No, they won't. They just won't scream at you, photograph you through their venetian blinds, or call the police.
