The modernization of the lifestyle of city dwellers is accompanied by a significant increase in the volume of waste produced by families, just as it is becoming more challenging to dump it in empty spaces. The municipality has been setting up waste drop-off points for around twenty years, but they quickly become saturated. The voluntary sector has taken the initiative of setting up door-to-door collection systems, thus enabling people in highly vulnerable situations to have jobs, most of whom are women. Initially, the collection was done with donkey-driven carts but with the disadvantage of slow movement accentuated by the weight of the loads. Motorized tricycles imported from China have emerged as a solution and currently constitute the primary means of transport used with the advantage of their speed. Waste collection is also accompanied by establishing numerous recycling units that help recover waste (metal, plastic, plants, etc.).
La modernisation du mode de vie des citadins s'accompagne d'une augmentation significative du volume de déchets produits par les familles tout comme il devient plus difficile de les déverser dans les espaces vides. La municipalité a mis en place depuis une vingtaine d'années des points de dépôts des déchets mais ceux-ci sont très rapidement saturés. Le secteur associatif a pris l'initiative de mettre en place des systèmes de collecte de porte-à-porte permettant ainsi à des personnes en situation de forte vulnérabilité d'avoir un emploi parmi lesquelles une majorité de femmes. Dans un premier temps, la collecte se faisait avec des charrettes à traction asine mais avec l'inconvénient de la lenteur des déplacements accentués par le poids des chargements. L'es tricycles motorisés importés de Chine se sont imposés comme solution et constituent actuellement le principal moyen de transport utilisé avec l'avantage de sa rapidité. La collecte de déchets s'accompagne également par la mise en place de nombreuses unités de recyclage qui contribuent à valoriser les déchets (métal, plastique, végétaux...).
not meaning a bad tv station :)
it is called: VAM-kanaal
the channel was meant for garbage transportation
the channels are dug by hand, with shovel and wheelbarrow, about 2,5m deep, as a kind of labor project...
(sometimes you cycle around and don't know what you are looking at :)
When you get tens of thousands of people in a small area for a brief time, you need some public service equipment. I leave it to my friends who enjoy such photos to properly identify make and model of this very necessary vehicle.
Decisions to be made!
Partner, would you rather have a cute little snail or a garbage can with a lid? (The first wise-acre who says a snail ON a garbage can, is gonna get bopped on the head!)
I've ordered this snail pattern and I'll shrink it down to pincushion size- Please click the link to see a much better rendition! Cute, right? It might get something underneath it, to ground it, or it might not. :)

Or I can attempt to make a garbage can, about the size of a tomato paste can, with a lid. Hopefully it'll have storage inside it for small tools, or even, TRASH! I'm picturing silver colored felted wool.
Seen in Gouldsboro State Park.

There is a pair of Heil carts to the left and I was told that the 65 gallon is an OP* cart.
