Garbage Bin

This is an old garbage bin. I have seen only three in our neighborhood. The top lifts up to throw something away. The wooden side slides up for the garbage to be taken out. The bins are on private property so they weren't for public use. In fact, there aren't any garbage bins on the street here. You can find public garbage bins near stores, public rest rooms, and in parks and rest areas.

Nowadays in our area, garbage has to be put in color coded bags (for recycling). They must be left in front of the house or gate. Click on the labels below for more information about recycling and garbage.
