Trash

Trash Cans

There are none. In the country, trash is thrown on the side of the house and burned. But in the city, I don’t know where the trash goes. At any fast food restaurant, the workers pick up the trash and where they put it is a mystery. It’s bad to assume, but I assume that most countries in Asia and Europe use ceramic plates and cups when serving meals. This of course, cuts the waste in half. In America, we serve our food in styrofoam, disposable paper containers, plastic bottles, etc. This leads to more waste and that is why we have trash cans, big ones.

It was hard to get use to someone picking up after you. It was also hard to hold your trash because there were no trash cans to put it in. I observed some of the locals to see what they did when they were faced with this problem of trying to dispose wrappers. Some just threw the wrappers on the ground, some held on to it.
