Disgusted

Bet that dog is barking after pooping those cubes!

Ouch!
 
And what about those who use a plastic bag to dispose of their darling fur babies' waste in a rubbish bin. Any significant difference?

Oh Dear !
The motorhome police/mafia are wound up
Calm down and read this post from Dee #52 and others by her.
The guy was wrong but who knows how good his bag was.
To follow up Dee's post...
How many baby nappies and old persons nappies get deposited (Correctly) in the household/ commercial (Care homes) rubbish collection system.
Can we (or not) assume the Recycling company know what they are doing (or should I say doings)

I pick up general waste from several care homes,if they included human waste they wouldn't be emptied,there's a totally separate waste stream for that as it's classed as bio hazardous wastes,usually done by a specialist company and sent for incineration. I'm not sure if the colour code applies across the country but they are usually yellow bins.

I was parked in a well known riverside beauty spot car park this morning. Only one other motorhome there and they proceeded to remove their toilet cassette and take it round to the hidden side of their van.
I could see underneath their motorhome and watched the owner empty the contents of the cassette into a plastic carrier bag and then carry the bag to a waste bin. This was a litter bin which would have to be physically emptied by a council worker.

I was shocked and disgusted at this behaviour and this to me is another example of why motorhomers have a bad reputation and are being banned from lovely spots.

I am shocked by this behaviour. As a new wild camper I am learning the ropes as I Go, but this type of thing would never enter my head !
 
Hi. Ooh well. Here's my 5 pence worth. Do not see the problem here. In Belgium human waste is spread on fields. Crops are then grown. In uk. Horse sh,,, is spread on veg gardens. And farmers spread cow/pig sh,,,,, onto there fields. Dog poo is put in dog bins.the old fashioned cess pits the wet waste drained into surrounding soil. And some councils say put dog bags in normal litter bins. So why not human waste in bins. IF. I was to dispose of my waste in carrier bag. Then into bin and someone came up and told me I should not. Then I would tell him. Calmly politely that he should keep his/her opinions to themselves and if they did not like/ agree with what I did. Then phone police or whoever I will wait here and they can report me. Here they can use my phone to do it. If there is signs. Bylaws saying you should not dispose of Things then that's different. I do get annoyed when people think that there opinion is right and then proceed to tell others what to do and how/why. Every one has there own opinions thoughts ideas. That is there right. It is not there right to I suppose dictate to others what to do or how to do it. There is more then one way to be right. There are many ways to be right. Ok. Now calming down. Just finished two weeks holiday. So I have a few threads I intend to publish to get opinions.

?treated human waste is used in the uk fields too, re yellow bins didn’t see any of those at my dads care home but that was 8 years ago, but give the people who use bags a bit of credit - we don’t want to poison anyone and we are not pooing in the open, apparently urine is good in the compost bin
 
Interesting! Good to read other points of view.....and something to think about.

Until I was 19 we lived in a 'house' with an outside toilet. In 1972 we moved to a proper house. Since my parents lived in the house, from 1952, and bought up a family of 5 children, my Dad would dig a hole in the garden and empty the contents of the toilet. The garden was used for growing vegetables - my Dad was an avid gardener. We are all still alive and healthy, my Mum is 87, Dad died aged 72 of Leukemia.
 
I would have been disgusted too but on reflection it occurred to me that maybe the propensity for authorities to combine rubbish bins with dog waste bins might confuse people as to the purpose of the bin.
What are the opinions, here, regarding the emptying of cassettes into toilets. A friend of mine made lots of yuk yuk noises at the thought. I said to her that I thought that pouring partially treated sewage down one was no worse than dumping totally fresh untreated sewage straight from the body, to which she reluctantly agreed. Mess is one argument against. I have practiced, at home, and have developed a method that is completely mess free and always leave the toilet in cleaner condition that I found it. It is all down to angle of the spout and the depression of the yellow button, when and how hard. Practice, practice.

Does it depend on the authority. I seem to recall notices somewhere about not emptying chemicals down some particular toilets somewhere. I suppose if they say not to, don’t and just be cautious as not everywhere has a sewage system.
 
I just get the impression if you’ve been a carer you just get on with it, the quicker the better, you have much more to deal with than poo .... my experience too btw
 
Report to the areas Council Environmental Health Dept. A friend has reported two vehicles when trash was thrown out at traffic lights. £6o fine each time; not contested/appealed each as time, date, and vehicle reg given; with all that they know they are guilty.

The real issue here is the lack of dump facilities in the UK. In France, where we mainly stay, a slight detour to one of three free aires to dump grey water and cassette on the journey home, and we are ready for the next outing.

I think the French,and other countries view motorhomers as a resource to bring money into small towns and villages,they get to keep their pub,shop etc,meanwhile in the UK we are seen as a nuisance,free loaders etc,so small villages lose their services,most can't depend on a small local population to keep things running.
I know the outlay to set up Aires is probably quite considerable and I'm not sure how they are funded over there but there must be government grants to help with the costs,ongoing costs would be minimal.
Another factor could be to look at it as a security measure to stop kids vandalising local facilities,far less likely to happen if there are vans parked on sites such as sports facilities.
