There are some containers in our town around blocks of flats for waste separation: -for plastic bottles -for paper -for glass In houses people use colourful plastic bags for different materials. -Black bag for glass -Blue bag for paper -Yellow bag for plastic bottles
But a lot of people do not care about environment and cleanness. So our town sometimes and somewhere look like in these photos...
Illegal junkyards often appear, where irresponsible people throw the waste, however they can pay penalty for it.
Citizens often drop small things like bottles, cigarette boxes and roaches. But alot of small things make big waste.
Especially after celebrations like Christmas and New year the mess on the streets increases.
Chewing gum decompose for 5 years Cans decompose for 50 years Cans decompose for 50 years Plastic bottles decompose for Paper tissues and napkins for 3 months Plastic bags for 100-1,000 years Magazines and newspapers for 4-12 months Mobile phone cards for 1,000 years
