A Stop at the Dump

An obligatory point of interest for any green tourist (like me) and once again we get to see that wonderful German organisation in action. A dozen or more containers so the rubbish is separated and collated according to material. Some of these containers are plugged in and have built in compactors. Others are like shipping containers with a door on the side. We neatly positioned a fridge along side a dozen other fridges. Bottles and cans are assigned to their respective containers. All this inn suburbia and all free. Kids are allowed to participate and amazingly no one dies. Compare once again with Brisbane, where the kids stay in the car, there is limited separation of rubbish and you have to mortgage your first born to pay for it.
