So, where does my trash really go?





Hard to believe sometimes but the trash doesn't magically disappear. Here are some pictures to prove it. Below is a collection of some of the photos of waste management in Cagliari.

Which bin do I throw it into?
 The following shows the several types of recycling bins and trash bins shown throughout the city. The yellow is for cardboard, green is for glass, gray is for composting, and the blue is for plastic.






 The above two pictures shows where the recycled paper ends up, as seen in a paper recycling plant.

Or, the Organic Waste gets composted, as shown in these pictures below:


                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Lastly, another option is as shown, which results in the remaining waste going to a waste to energy plant. We have yet to visit the landfill but that is also another option.
