Waste Management

One of the curiosity that I have, when I first came to my place in Berau, was the garbage dumpster. There was no garbage dumpster at the house!

I couldn’t understand at all. How come a house doesn’t have a dumpster? Where all the garbage goes? Are they burnt? Or do I have to throw it somewhere just like in Germany? But where????

And here comes another surprise… I have been told that I have to put all the garbage in a plastic bag. And then the plastic bag has to be hanged on the fence at night. A garbage cleaner will come during night time to collect it, so there will be no more garbage in the morning!

Weird!
