Photo Hunt :: Garbage

PSHunt
Come and join the hunt here

In our village, we use colored strings to tie garbage bags to distinguish its contents. Green strings are used for biodegradable waste like food. Yellow strings are reserved for cans, plastic, glass and metal. Blue strings are designated for dry paper waste while red strings are for waste that cannot be recycled nor put to good use (like diapers and napkins).

    That is a very clever way to distinguish your recyclables. Wonderful choice for the theme.

    I'm impressed.

    In some places, I see many people don't know how to dispose waste properly and certainly lack understanding on recycling their garbage.

    Now this is using the brains....wish America would do something like this....at least OUR neck of the woods...they just dump trash in one bin...and of course we have a separate bin for recycle stuff ---but it ALL goes into one bin. I like this idea.

    This week's theme will be quite interesting to see what everyone came up with for their photos. Yours, my friend, is excellent actually!!! Mine is posted, come on over to my blog, if you can...

    Have a great Saturday.

  13. That is an easier way than having all the different bins and bags. My construction trash or garbage is up.

    Great idea!

    Our recyclables go into a bin, blue for plastic , glass and metal; and black for paper (I think). Since one week it is paper, plastic and metal and the next is paper, we just use a blue bin. It goes all the same.

    We are supposed to be going to a new system of green bins like Toronto has.

    The green bins are for anything biodegradable, including diapers and meat.

    Apparently, it is working well in Toronto... or would be if their garbage union wasn't on strike. The garbage is mounting up, there.

  21. That's a great idea for color coding.

    I'll bet this system makes you very much aware of how much you use which items.

    i think, this is much better way than doing the color-coded plastic bags/garbage cans. my ph entry is up too.

    ReplyDelete
  25. This is a smart and cost-efficient solution! Really great. Better than color-coded garbage bags, which can be expensive!

    i hope they implement that in the entire country!
    here in ireland, we only have 3 bins, black for residual waste, green for recyclables like paper, tins and plastic, and brown for biodegradables/for composting. the glass we have to deliver to the specially designated glass containers around town.
