taiwan garbage truck

Someone came up with the idea of "no standing garbage" a few years ago, meaning you don't leave any garbage or bins on the curb. So every day at a fixed time, we walk about 1 block to the nearest big intersection to wait for the garbage truck. Once the truck arrives (you'll be notified by its unmistakable music), everyone goes to the back and empties their own trash. There is also a red and a blue bin behind the garbage truck. One is for compost and one is for pig feed. There is also recycling for plastic, glass and paper.

i wonder how often they change the tune on the truck?

[mom2ag]

I've been told by people who grew up and lived here their whole lives that it hasn't changed as far as they remember.

I think it is more aware, that people have to throw their own garabage. I wish canada had this idea. The choas lol may be more, but the awareness. Is better, you actually have to carry the weight of your own trash to the "not the end of your driveway"
