Rubbish, or garbage disposal. How do you get rid of it where you live?

we have weekly collection. they divide it up between garbage,recyclables and yard waste. i do wish they'd have yard waste more than every two weeks (i make way more than compostable),but i don't think that's going to happen.it is good they do recycle though.

Good morning, Thea. In Spain, we have large gresy plastic skips on the roads. Although there are some separate recycling containers - not necessarily next to the skips - you can put anything in them, as they are sorted at the depot. Everything must be in bags, though. If the skip is full, you can put your stuff next to it and it will be taken away. We've seen mattresses, chairs and all sorts left, and it's all disappeared next day. Quite a refreshing change from the English 'Refuse Police,' who'll fine you or refuse to take your refuse(pardon the pun!)if you put the 'wrong' thing in the bin. The skips are emptied every night except Sundays, and about once a month, they are steam cleaned. No matter how hot it gets, the skips never smell, and in the 18 months we've been here, there hasn't been a strike either. In addition, the streets in the towns are swept and pressure washed regularly. We're very happy with our system here.

We have a scheduled collectors in our place. Households are not allowed to put their trash outside their place until the time of collection. And biodegradable and non-degradable also were in separate containers and have separate schedule of pick-up. Our neighborhood also practice recycling. Like for me, I dont throw those used plastic polyurethane bags from the grocers. I re-use them to wrap garbage or as knot to garbage bags also. Things like those.

We have a garbage center in our community, where garbages are compacted and transforted out by garbage containers. Residents are supposed to put the baged garbage into the garbage barrels, and cleaners will pour them into the pit in the center. All these years, a great deal has taken place with regard of the garbage disposal. Earlier, there were some buildings where the residents on upfloors would pour babarge down through a slot to the ground floor. And I also saw streets allocated as garbage pouring site for truck removal at night. These have become history, and difficult to understand for children. Sanitational issues are paid more attention and improvements seen to make city better for living.
