Well being bins can be ordinary bins on towpath with restricted openings to discourage people putting large bags of waste (like boaters filling up small bins). If the boaters waste arrangements were better there would of course be less incentive to use the small bins. Small bins should be provided by the local authority obviously.
I suspect in the longer term a policy to dispose of "problematic" boaters who disproportionately use bins (residential use of leisure bins is a fairly obvious problem - usually people pay council tax for residential waste disposal services) is more likely than a policy to provide better services.
The argument would go that if boaters were engaged in bona fide navigation then bin use would be more spread out but in reality the more popular areas for residential use of towpath moorings will have problematic bins. Or bins positioned where any tom dick harry or mick can use them.

Boaters engaged in bona fide navigation can only use the bins that are there, and these are usually in popular places that are accessible to the collection vehicles. There are many examples where there is a 3-4 days cruise between facilities. For instance, travelling from the bottom of Atherstone locks to Great Haywood, without making diversions, there are no convenient disposal points. If you want to go to Penkridge, then Great Haywood isn't the best.

If the bins were emptied more frequently, there'd be very little problem.
But of course the frequency of emptying has an effect on costs.

More evenly spaced bins, on boats, with a schedule of disposal days where the bin is transported to an access point for a toad vehicle would be the way to do it. Bins could be smaller and I think there is a big argument for preventing trade waste (boat interior strip for example) from entering this particular waste stream.
Problem is that would cause more fly tipping so could backfire.
Its a bit awkward.
Maybe one option would be to ban boats from waterways.
I recently cruised the river wey (where cc is not an option) and there were no problems with bins and I saw no fridges in any hedges.

I didn't mean they would necessarily produce less annual waste volume just that it would not be concentrated in one place. I think you know what I am referring to.
