recycling

outside a Tesco store in Co. Mayo.  The colourful bins on the left are for clothes and textiles.  The remaining nine bins are for bottles and cans.

  2. It appears the Irish are doing a good job with recycling. Looking back (1950's) to when I was kid all garbage went into landfill sites.

  7. Hi Bill.

    Undoubtedly a container where the spools can go.

    Greetings from Patricia.

  8. Oh so colorful! Much better than some of the places we have. It might as well be a landfill in some locations in the city.

  9. Hello,
    Looks like nice set up for recycling.
    I see those containers here for charity items too.
    Take care, enjoy your day!

  10. Great to have the customers sort through their stuff. Our big recyclable is cardboard, which wouldn't fit in any of those. Even when the containers are taken flat, they seem to be unmanageable, but that is one recyclable which I think does work. Many others here don't actually get recycled - probably due to cost.

  15. A big battery of deposits, but there is still someone who is lazy to put the right place... Nice catch!
    Good evening, Bill.

  16. Acostumbro a clasificar los resiçduos y colocar cada grupo, en donde le corresponde.

    Con la ropa, se puede hacer una buena labor, con las personas necesitadas. cuando te das cuenta, ya no te cabe en el armario y hay que deshacerse de algunaw, para que quepan las nuevas. las que introduzco, están en perfectas condiciones, para ser utilizadas.

    1. Paper and plastic are recycled at home with the bins you have. The bin is picked up roadside and emptied every two weeks. There is so much paper and plastic one of these recycle places would be overwhelmed.

  18. It looks very nice clean and neat
    Here at home, it can be a little unclean when recycling

  24. As preocupações ambientais andam na ordem do dia! Que bom ver tudo separado, para se facilitar a reciclagem e se evitar desperdícios...
    Gostei imenso da foto! Abraço!
