The collection of any sort of rubbisch, wether the garbage is recyclable or not, is essential to our cities staying clean. As well as the correct disposal of the rubbisch itself.
Methods for collecting garbage
Italy:
Waste management in Italy is managed at a municipal level in accordance with national legislation, and differs widely from area to area.
Typically, rubbish is collected by a waste disposal company contracted to the comune (municipal authority). Following garbage crises in the south of the country municipalities are increasing access to recycling services and domestic collection. While kerbside collection schemes with mandatory separation are more established in the North, much of Southern Italy continues to rely on bottle banks and communal landfill containers.
Switzerland:
Trash, garbage and rubbish – whatever you call it, waste disposal is an important part of one's everyday household chores. In Switzerland, there's more to putting out the trash than just filling a rubbish bin.
The Swiss are efficient and conscientious about recycling(DE/FR/IT). They have a myriad set of rules and regulations for disposing of various types of materials. Unsurprisingly, Switzerland tops world rankings for taking enviromental action (DE/FR). Adapting to Switzerland's waste and recyling (DE/FR/IT) requires a bit of time and effort but it is good for your conscience, for your wallet, and for the environment!
