My experience of taking out trash in Adelaide.

As we all know, Australia is extremely expensive artificial, and environmental protection is very good, these two things combined, that is, garbage dumping is very troublesome.

Every House pays management fees to Council every year, and one of the money is for garbage disposal. Each family will be divided into three large garbage bins, the red bins are relatively small, they throw domestic garbage, and the green and yellow bins are larger. Green bucket is to throw garden garbage, such as the repair of weeds, leaves, etc., yellow bucket is to throw recyclable garbage, such as cardboard, easy-to-pull cans, all kinds of bottles, can not be thrown wrong, otherwise be found light warning heavy fines. But sometimes some of the big garbage can't be thrown into the trash can, and the Council usually offers a free collection of big garbage once or twice a year, and calls them to make an appointment. Just throw the garbage on the side of the road at the door (your neighbors tend to rub the chance, and sometimes you'll find that you don't have a lot of trash in your doorway, cold -).

But sometimes Council can't solve everything, so I have to figure it out by myself. After I moved to my new home, I bought a lot of electrical appliances and furniture. These cardboard boxes and plastic foam became a big trouble. For various reasons, Council couldn't come to collect it. After a month in the yard, I couldn't help but deal with it myself.

Google went down, found that Acun this kind of dump station is still quite a lot, looked for a house close to home, asked the price, is based on the size of the car to charge, throw cardboard, generally 20 cars or so, trailer 25, truck did not ask, Certainly more expensive, packed for a long time, compressed cardboard, plastic bag broken, all into my car, drove past, at this time so much miss China, a phone, garbage collection on the door clean and clean, give me the money, Unlike here, you have to pick up and send yourself to the door and pay for it -.

The garbage station was not very large, but it was well managed. The car went in, and the staff checked the things in the car a little bit, told me the cost, and then they could just drive in and throw it at the designated place and take a few photos. You can take a look at it.

A guy pulled a lot of wood to throw.



The man in green is the staff, who charge the money and direct the vehicles.

The cardboard has to be thrown in these big boxes.


I saw a lot of bottles when I went out.


When I came home, I saw that the yard, which had piled up garbage for a month, was finally clean and joyful.

补充一下,今天发现阿村的生活垃圾的桶有可能不是红色的,也有的地方是蓝色的桶,但是可回收垃圾和花园垃圾都一样是黄桶和绿桶,不知道有什么规律,可能不同的Council不一样吧。
