Throwing liquid in garbage bins

[freddy65]

Why do people do it? Can a garbage bin be considered a sink so that you can dispose of your coffee, drinks, etc?

[FazerRider]

lazy. just chill. its not like u can do anything about it.

[KorruptioN]

What are you doing about it?

Hunt them down and kill their families.

[woobie]

So you'd prefer people pour out their drink on the ground then bin the empty cup?

While I understand what your saying, unless you have a sink nearby to dump it what other choice do you have?

[freddy65]

Hunt them down and kill their families.

lol!

[board123]

Yeah, just drink it. That's what you bought it for.

[TapemanPL]

do you shake your fist at the sky when it rains into your garbage bin? and let me guess don't even get you started with the water getting into your green and recycling bin

Is a sink the only place you put liquid waste?

Why do you have a problem with it?

Ask the cleaning personnel who have to collect leaking garbage bags.

lol

they don't purchase them.

Then they can double up the bags in the lunchroom cans.

I think that it has to do with the fact that there's rarely a sink nearby when you want to throw your coffee cup away.

I don't really think that it's that much of an issue.

I understand.

What do you think of citizens that simply leave half filled coffee cups on the floor in street cars, buses and subway wagons?

[whampoa]

That's if litterbugs even bother to throw it in the garbage bins in the first place.

If you even bother to drive through any Tim Horton between 1 AM through 6 AM.

You will witness a sea of litter donut bags, coffee cups and other craps in the parking lot.

litterbugs must be taught the rules of our civilization.

That's not so good. They should throw the liquid in a garbage can, then throw the cup on the ground.

it won't make a difference when the garbage truck crushes these garbage bags. All the garbage water will burst out and leak back onto the streets for us to smell. :lol:

Ask the cleaning personnel who have to collect leaking garbage bags.

that's why you don't become cleaning personnel.

OP does have a point, but others do to.....in any case, there is nothing that can be done excepting working hard to not be cleaning personnel.

[Eyies]

OP is right. This is a very serious matter, and before I vote on Tuesday I would like to see each political party address this issue, their standpoint and how they are planning to approach the problem.

I'm glad someone brought this up, it has been bothering me for a very long time now.

Garbage bin = sink.
I'm gonna go pee in a bin right now...

Fast food places get this all the time... people who can't finish their drink dump it in the trash. Even if you finish it, the leftover ice will still melt.

If it was such a big problem they could have easily solved it by putting a sink/drain/bottle next to the bin. Or use stronger bags. Chances are the liquids get sufficiently absorbed by other solid trash.

Don't worry about non-existent problems.

I noticed that for many years and always wonder how they deal with that. It seems it is an non-issue for them as their garbage area does not produce bad smell. I do notice they use industrial grade garbage bag. That is what I am using for home. Sometime, as you said, after finishing the drink, there is still leftover ice. I can just dump the cups from my car to the garbage in the garage instead of talking them to home to drain it and dump it.

I also think garbage truck can deal with certain amount of liquid too.

Wow! You pee to the sink as common practice!

[freddy65]

who pees while taking a shower?

it's so good under hot water... :D

lol

here is the real question:

OP, why do you care?

I shouldn't? Is it wrong to care about it? :|

Yea I use be in that service, and it is very very very troublesome and annoying if a bag breaks. If it doesn't, it's all good, but the guy that handles the garbage after me might not be so lucky.

If I want to trash a cup and there are still liquids, I usually just dump it, on the grass or in the sewer, before I through the cup away.

[woodstock827]

It's worse when you go to a food court with a booth that sells noodle soups. You simply cannot drink all the soup and you're basically forced to dump the soup into the garbage can along with the bowl.
But if it's so much a problem, the management probably will take care of it first... I've seen places with a bucket beside the garbage can for people to dump the liquid. If it's there, people do use it. If it's not, probably the management is thinking it's not worth it.

[Jonathan Bones]

I often do worry about who gets to take out the trash when dining at a food court or fast food restaurant. Even if I do finish my beverage, what about all the ice left in the cup that's going to melt? The cup isn't likely to stay intact when it gets dumped into the bin.

But what alternatives are we offered? You can't dump out your drink/ice if the restaurant doesn't have a self-serve soda fountain. And I've never heard of people returning their cups to the counter to be disposed of. I imagine the staff would just be insulted if you did such a thing, anyway. And I sure as heck am not venturing into the bathroom to find a sink.

Ummm they are more abundant and closer to drain holes. I'm guilty of doing this sometimes...
