me stop you right away! It's true that right now I live in the economy, but I am not yet reduced to rummaging through garbage cans! "Make the trash" in this post it means "prepare garbage bags in anticipation of the passage of garbage."
is here, the system is very original. Everyone should go to file its own garbage to the truck. With us, it happens between 9:20 p.m. ET 21:30 Monday to Saturday.
The first time it is I who am stuck myself. I had 3 small bags store. I arrive at the entrance to the street, there was a small truck with a pretty colorful daisies painted on it. I said that, it must be for recycling. As people waited, waited with them. A few minutes later, music announcing the dump truck was heard. A scavenger, carrying a large bag, went around us. Like others, I have submitted my 3 bags. But then: "gonghaibaofucijai!" In short, he shouted something incomprehensible to me, has emerged one of my small bags large bag, and made me realize that I had to drop in the bucket.
Ok, ok. I did, but I did not understand why.
The second time, I told John to go there and ask for explanations from neighbors. He returned saying that there was a special bin for peelings and other raw vegetables. Another new option! But it did not tell me why my bag had been rejected!
So I asked around me. Several times. Things brightened, but I still did not know why my bag had been left out like that!
Tonight I went back to the garbage truck. And I think I understand! So here, exclusively, the operation of refuse collection in Taipei!
- the sprigs in a container
- cardboard and paper recycling with the beautiful Daisy
- the egg cartons, plastic packaging, polystyrene in the big bag of Mr.
- the rest is put into a blue bag which is then thrown into the dumpster. These blue bags are purchased at the checkout of supermarkets. They are taxed and the money they bring in finance garbage collection. I quite like this bag system taxed: we pay based on what we consume, and that well that sorts and tries to reduce its waste is rewarded. You will say: but you could cheat! Sure, but there may be some control, watch out! And overall, I think people are honest on that.
And the little bag the first time, you say? Well, I guess it was blue. So the garbage collector thought it was a bag taxed, that's why he wanted me to throw in the dumpster!
