Rubbish

We have it easy in Oz when it comes to sorting garbage. Check out Japan and how clean the place is.

They don't tolerate what we call garbage collection in Australia.

A country that really knows how to keep things clean.

We have to remember a building over there may have 10,000 residents and a few blocks (Called Ward in Japan) may house up to 1 million people.

In Japan they are very wary of foreigns as they don't know how to dispose of garbage properly.

I have been walking the streets here in Tokyo and it is a lot cleaner than Aus however the streets are still not clean or spotless as the media or online would have us believe. Add to that you often get a stench of sewerage wafting in the air, something we don't get in Aus.

Are you living there Swamptrout or just visiting? Where is stay when in Japan is out near Chiba City between Chiba-shi and Narita-shi and I can't say I've ever noticed the sewerage smell but that could be just a Tokyo thing as it's very heavily condensed. My wife wants us to move there for a while and as much as I want to, I have so much to do here in Oz that it'll be costly to go to and fro and it's a bit difficult to BBQ in Japanese Cities. People are very sensitive to outside smells and BBQ wouldn't cut it out in the driveway when you have houses directly behind and beside you.

I think one of the problems is we produce so much rubbish nowadays. Once upon a time when rugby league players had a second job as garbos we could live with one bin (refer photo) which is a lot smaller than today’s bin collected once a week.

What I take from this is.... we need rugby players to be garbos again.
