At strategically-placed locations, like picnic areas, gas stations and
car parks, have a pullout lane at the exit which takes the vehicle past
a large garbage container conveniently placed at average driver's
window level.
Optionally, recycling bins could also be provided.
The important
point is that the container is positioned at the driver's
window, allowing the terminally indolent single occupier to dispose
of waste in a tidy way.

This is actually a very good idea. I've checked and
it's by [8th], but it's still a very good idea. |

This Idea appears to be assuming that there is only one
lane of traffic into and out of the relevant area. If there
are two lanes, then I can foresee some problems with
putting trash cans in the middle of the road. |
|

//<Readdresses [MB]'s birthday present to Sturton>//
If it's another one of those self-assembly capybaras
he's welcome to it. I'm still working on the last one -
that sachet of glue they include is hopeless, and I've
mislaid a pancreas somewhere. |
|
| |
// If there are two lanes, // |
|
| |
... there will still be the special single pullout lane, separate from the main departure lane, which rejoins the main lanes - via a give way - after the trash can. |
|
| |
Imagine a drive-thru window, but for dumping trash. |
|
| |
// another one of those self-assembly capybaras // |

No, it isn't. They were on special offer... ours was equally disappointing, one leg was missing and that third ear just doesn't quite look right where we attached it, altho it does help him to hear anything creeping up from behind. |

No... you remember you wanted some real Venetian gondolas for the Second North-East Ornamental Lake ? |
|
| |
Now you mention it, I do remember. Well, in that
case I take back all those things I said about you.
And the things I posted on Wikileaks. And that
satirical documentary. And the criminal investigation
regarding the tangerines. The stuff about Thursday
afternoons, though, that stays. |
|
| |
//Venetian gondolas for the Second North-East Ornamental
Lake ?// |
|
| |
Are they the delicate clinker-built gondolas that sink when
you twist the rod? Never saw the appeal myself. |
|
| |
On a cold, windy day, inform an elderly relative that their insulin
kit is on that small island in the lake, and the only way to
retrieve it is by gondola. |
|
| |
Looks like someone already tossed in the "i" of the word dispose. |
|
| |
Does that mean you climbed in to retrieve it? |
|

//Logical, yet strangely absent//
Perhaps the absence is due a regional difference, or a temporal one - drive-ins are less common than they were 50 years ago - or the result of just not getting out enough. Big trash bins with plastic chutes extending over the curb [see link] strategically placed in their exit lanes are a franchise standard feature of such eateries everywhere I’ve been in the US. |
|
| |
I have distant memories of ranks of them along the exit lanes of drive-in movie theatres, but that staple of Americana (and, I gather from ‘70s exploitation movies, Australiana) are nearly extinct now. |
|
| |
// a franchise standard feature of such eateries // |

The idea is that these devices should be installed at many public places- mall car parks, roadside rest areas and the the like. |
|
| |
I've seen these at some coffee shop drive-thru lanes. |
|
| |
Simply toss your trash out where you would like a drive thru can positioned, along with a brochure for can shown in the link or similar. |
|
| |
Continue to toss daily until they install the can or you are arrested. ( Perhaps they need cans at the courthouse. ) |
|
| |
//Simply toss your trash out where you would like a drive thru can positioned, along with a brochure for can shown in the link or similar//
I see a lot of impromptu protest/civil improvement like this in the form of shopping bags tied to bus stop signs posts. When enough full bags festoon the posts, somebody collects them, though I’ve no idea they from the bus agency, state road maintenance, or the neighborhood. |
|
| |
Print the “put a trashcan here!” flyer on the shopping bag and give the bags away in public displays – seems like good community activism to me. |

That's the Dutch liqueur made with eggs and sugar, isn't it ? |

Oh... an [MB] annotation seems to have gone missing... |
|

I had pointed out the injustice of [mfd]ing this idea
on the grounds of advocacy. However, I then noticed
//[t]he idea is that these devices should be installed
//, which looks, regrettably, very much like an
advocaat to me. |
|
| |
Voted + without even needing to read the idea. (Garbage
holder inside the car on the driver's side)
Then read CraigD's link and found out that it was an equally
good idea, but not what I thought. |
|
| |
// looks, regrettably, very much like an advocaat to me. // |

That's one of those things that eats termites and ants, isn't it ? |
|
| |
No, it's the base ingredient in guacamole. |
|
| |
Ah, gondolas. I tried sculling once - had to strip down, get in the water and tow the boat while swimming to get back upwind to the dock. |
|
| |
I feel there needs to be a graph, with three lines: |
|
| |
Civilization progress over the last 20 years. |
|
| |
Civilization progress had civilization implemented the more
implementable HB ideas. |
|
| |
Civilization progress had civilization indiscriminately
implemented all HB ideas. |
|
| |
The last graph will need a negative -going Heaviside step function
... |
|
| |
All 3 graphs, at least since 2015. |
