recycling swedish style

Now until you have recycled in Sweden....you have no idea what you are missing out on....the Swedes have taken recycling to another level....
let's begin with the day to day household waste...the paper, the newspapers, the bottles, the cans not to forget the plastic...so if you are lucky and live near these recycling bins you can include your daily walk en route....by the way recycling is very COOL so if you care about your look....you will simply look a lot cooler!!!!!!! the bins are easily marked so disposing is super easy and then if you are really into the whole culture of recycling you can continue onto your local supermarket and return the bottles and cans and earn a little "pocket money"....
                                                                          BUT
the place to be is the recycling station....wow wow wow!!!!!! now that is a part of Sweden that really describes the Swede, organized and socially responsible....this is the place where everyone has the chance to do their little bit for the environment....a harmonious place where we can all come together and dispose of our rubbish in the right way......there is a container for absolutely everything there from your batteries to wood to old furniture...you name it, you will find a container for it...apart from all the rubbish to throw away, you have charity bins always a plus....
                                                                        NOW
for some reason, recycling takes no more than 10minutes at the most when it can take weeks to organize the load to be driven to the dumpster...now how is that possible!!!!!!
so why not spend a few extra minutes at this wonderful place...
perhaps we could have a toilet and a sink with soap and some nice recycled hand paper towels available to us and what about a coffee machine at our disposal...now wouldn't that be a nice way
to end the visit!!!!!!!

if you are looking for happy people, you will find them at the recycling station....the people working there just love it when you ask them which container to use....yes this is one place where you will feel appreciated!!!!!!!! happy happy happy doing the right thing!!!!!!!
