For people who have been camping with good facilities. How is the recycling set up there. |
Don't know whether these counted as 'good facilities' (and I don't know what you provide), but I stayed on a small campsite with a single toilet/sinks block, and the recycling bins were all out at the front of the building, labelled, with notices pinned up outside, beside the bins (woodcovered walls); and inside, above the washing-up sinks. There was also a compost waste bin, as well as paper, plastics, glass.
Would you want to provide leaflets (does your local council produce/provide them?) about the joys/benefits/uses of composting ? Including home composting, in case your visitors are enthused enough to go home and give it a try.
I think people develop 'blind spots' when they go away, or produce their rubbish on a different scale.
After several weeks spent dutifully putting all my household and outdoor waste into recycling / compost / etc, the placement student put all his own rubbish into a single bag. And his family make a lot of compost, though I don't know whether they put house rubbish in it or not. |
