#026: garbage collection (26) 


Day 26 / 365: Today organic and paper garbage is being collected


This is more a question to all you non-germans than a self-portrait. Still a contribution to the 365 and the Step into my world-pool.

We separate garbage here for recycling.
Today "Biomüll" (brown garbage can) and "Papier" (big green garbage can) is being collected. Also see the colors in the calendar. There is also "Gelber Sack" ( yellow sack ) in which we put things like plastic packages, polystyrene etc and "Restmüll" ( gray can / calendar rows ) in which we put... "the rest". Empty bottles and glass we have to take to a glass-container which is mostly positioned next to a mall / supermarket or so.

How is that where you live?
How often do they come get the garbage? Do you separate?

Hi Sascha! Over here (UK) We separate but not as much as you. One week we have "Green waste" (Garden etc) and Cardboard. The following week "Kitchen/Household Waste". However as a personal initiative we sort into plastics and metal tins etc., and take those to the local waste-disposal site ourselves! :D

NigelKA replies:
Happy to oblige, Sascha! :) No, we do not have to pay for disposing at the local "tip" however there are "guards" (in truth, men who wear luminous green jackets!!) there to make sure we are careful in what we take! We also take old shopping-bags, shoes, clothes and engine-oil etc. :) :)

In our part of the world, Icking/Bavaria, we separate our garbage meticulously. We have those grey and brown cans too, and in addition a green one for paper and card board.
No yellow sacks, however: we bring our plastic to the “Wertstoffhof” where we dispose it in many different containers under supervision. The same with glas: separate holes for colorless, green (Jägermeister), and brown glass.
