Germans, does your blood steam when you almost put the trash in the wrong trash container?

[Unit1]

For those, who aren't German, we separate our trash by several categories:

We got the blue dumpster for paper trash, that'll be recycled

We got the green or brown dumpster for biodegradable trash, that'll decompose in the dirt and acts as compost

We got glass dumpsters separated by the color of the glass

We got used battery containers and some places to return scrap metal, plastics (not for the type of plastics used for packaging consumables) and electronics

We got a pawn system for our plastic and glass bottles and also metal cans, which costs a little extra but the money is returned after returning the empty containers in designated container return machines in supermarkets.

And finally we got the yellow or black dumpster for the rest of the trash, which is mostly used plastic packaging, cans for soups or diced tomatoes, wooden handles from ice creams, fabric, rubber, napkins and bottle caps

If it’s almost why get worked up? Brains lag sometimes- in any aspect of life.

Upkeep a good diet, and get good sleep. 👍

If you actually put it in, it’s also either brain lag or you didn’t care to begin with.

One has to be understandable and the other means having them is a waste to begin with, if you wouldn’t use them for their intended use.

I’m not German by the way, but some part of this concept for trash categories/ compartments is somewhat inspiring.

The things I get mad about when it comes to trash is when people fail to use them altogether or if I personally accidentally slip/ toss in a valuable item into it whilst having tried to only dispose of a certain used item/ piece of trash. It’s upsetting cause then the valuable item gets dirty and I have to retrieve it and sanitize it, and then it’s a little second of panic because if I hadn’t heard, felt, or seen the item, I could’ve let it go to waste and never seen again.

In the uk we have a green bin for normal rubbish a purple bin for cans and bottles and a blue bin for paper/ cardboard

The thing with Germans, they are very efficient. 🇩🇪
