Drag or carry?

[Coolcats]

I do not normally take any notice of what people do on site but have noticed an awful lot of people drag their toilet Casette to the emptying point. Just curious as to why people do not carry them.

Perhaps they aren't up to lifting.

Why carry if you have wheels on them.

 

[AndyPK]

The ones who carry are just going through the motions……..

(I’ll get me coat….)

 

[Podney]

Surely they only drag the ones with wheels? Why wouldn’t you?

Personally,being a real man,I carry our non-wheeled version to the cdp,taking on that nonchalant,look at me big strong man carrying these turds so easily,look. What I’m actually thinking is,Christ this is bloody heavy,how much further is it,I bet my shoulder is going to play up again coz of this. And I must remember to avoid getting splash back on these socks.

I was a "carrier"....

Hip failure now forces me to be a very slow "wheeler".. Blinkin hard on long grass

My gripe is the people who wash their cassette out and rinse 20 times. Oh Please! they will take it back and s%** in it later.

 

[HugoBNB]

Carry for me as there is too much noise from the wheels when dragging. On a site with gravel roads now, wheels get stuck and clogged up.

Only problem with the wheeled ones is that as the wheels wear the cassette can be 'looser' in the housing so you get leakage, better to use a trolley if you can't carry it.

I find it heavy and awkward to carry when it's full so I wheel it (I just wish the handle was a bit longer so I wouldn't have to stoop when walking). I carry it when it's empty though.

 

[Vipar]

Empty mine straight after breakfast every morning much lighter than waiting until it’s half full. Only use camp sites. Her at home won’t wild camp too afraid

Yippee. Another toilet thread. What would we all do without one?

 

[Two on Tour]

I drag on grass and carry over concrete , gravel and tarmac, unless it's a fair distance to the dump point, in which case it's strapped to the bike rack or our little luggage trolley.

 

[Lenny HB]

Depends on how full it is if I can empty daily I carry but not always possible.

 

[Larrynwin]

My cassette is approx 70cm high not sure of volume but quite heavy when full and my knees are cream crackered so always wheel it when full.

The French are the experts at that.

Daft. Mine has wheels so wheel it. Funny how PVCs have big cassettes and girt big vans have little cassettes innit.

 

[Clivefog]

My replacement cassette came with wheels so drag it there carry it back. My every day empty may be extended now I don't have to carry it.

Crikey, how far do you take it?

’It’s a long way to tipper……..(insert own word here)…..

 

[TinaLes]

Drag or Carry was the title.
In Answer, I "drag" it out as long as possible, before "carrying" out the task of emptying.
I also rinse twice, as the 1st rinse is never clear, but much improved by the second one, but if theres a Frenchman in the queue then its 20 times at least, just to show we Brits can be as annoying as they are, when the opportunity arises.

If I need to empty the grey as well, via a separate container (some places don't let you "dribble"), I use a converted shopping trolley. Otherwise I usually carry.

Trick is to do it daily if possible, doesn't get too heavy then of course.

Thought it was going to be another A frame or Trailer thread, ah well.

I will ask HRH as that's her jobby?? I simply couldn't do it (the emptying that is. I have only ever peed in the thing, never "the other")

When my wheeled cassette is inserted into housing it sits on the base of cassette and not the wheels so immaterial how much the wheels are worn. !!!

 

[Simon Meadwell]

Got wheels so made to be wheeled imo . So wheel i do if you dont like the noise tough. What do you do when its time to leave free wheel to the gates so nobody can hear the engine.

If you can't carry how do you get on when the emptying point is a 4" pipe which is positioned 5' above the ground?

We’re in this camp for the same reason, plus the trolley handle prevents me stooping. That said, if pretty close to the disposal point, I will carry.

 

[Vanman]

Ours has no wheels so I carry it - unless it's too heavy, then I take the lid off and drag it though the grass and other peoples pitches. With any luck it's empty by the time I get to the disposal point.

 

[Coolcats]

Some people go to the Gym and pay to lift heavy objects I just carry my waste box and view it as another mini gym resistance training session

I wheel am also 5’ once wheeled for about 10 minutes to get to dump point, no phone signal had to wheel it back to van to get John to come and lift it for me. Realise I have been calling him for years about not emptying the cassette, apologies, he did once in Italy somewhere
