here is the space that the bin occupied for many years at a bus stop in the folkestone road.
not the first to go, maybe they are becoming collectors items?

The Dover Society have also written asking for them to be replaced and the answerr was NO.
How they expect the streets to be clean of litter when there's no where to put it.
I appreciate it costs money for the bins and to empty them, but at what cost to local communities ?

they have been dissappearing slowly over a couple of years at least, still got to pay people to clean up the mess anyway.

Most of the rubbish comes from fast food outlets so they should take more responsibility for supplying and emptying bins, Macdonalds over here have bins on the high street not just near their restaurant, for rubbish and recycling with their logo displayed. They were opened under a blaze of publicity so it was a win win situation for them and the town.

A friend in Folkestone had his dustbin stolen about 4 years ago. For several days his friends called out to him, "Where's ya bin?"

another one bites the dust, this time the bin on the folkestone road just past christchurch court and just before the roundabout.
maybe they have become collectors items?

If you want to encourage people to keep britain tidy, then you need to provide litter bins.
To do otherwise will just give people more opportunity to litter sadly

there seems to be a masterplan to turn the town into a tip, very successful too.

I know in some towns during the IRA campaigns bins were removed as they were a target for bombs. I don't think terrorism is the case now, though, is it?

Bins were removed for supposed reasons of security but this was at a time when bins were metal. Now that bins are mostly plastic it seems that reasons of economy (mis judged because littered streets need cleaning) are behind this policy.
