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).

Happy weekend.

V systematic indeed.

Tara R. said...

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.

Nice, colorful, useful - what else can one wish for?

Have a great weekend.

What an excellent idea! Happy weekend

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.

That is a great idea.

Very clever idea to encourage the individual control sorting waste!

Kia said...

What a great idea! :D Here no one cares about recyclin, it drives me mad! :( Grrrr...
Happy day, Rach! Hugs!!!

bing said...

how innovative! where is this area?

feefifoto said...

How wonderfully organized!

srp said...

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

Maria @ Conversations with Mom said...

What a cute idea. Colorful garbage.

Anneke said...

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.

Tina said...

First time i saw and heard this one. We have our garbage bins in different colors. Brown for biological, black for residual wate and yellow for recyclable.

Have a great weekend. Tina

Lisa said...

Wow that's a great idea!! Love the colours. Enjoy your weekend.

Great idea to segregrate the type of trash!

upto6only said...

wow that's great. even the strings are color coded.

Ebie said...

That's a great idea for color coding.

Alice Audrey said...

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

dong ho said...

such a good way to segregate the wastes. im quite impressed!

Marites said...

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

toni said...

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

Tina said...

thats a great idea. we should have something like that here.

p.s Unfortunately i havent got the time to maintain the Drop Stars blogroll anymore, so i am removing it from my website.

If you could remove your badge too i would be grateful.

Thank you again for being my Drop Star, and i will 'drop by' again soon :)

princess said...

what happens if you mismatched?

odette said...

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.

catrosinfo said...

That's great idea.
