Probably once or twice per week during most seasons in the year a big deliver truck resupplies this retail location with a variety of convenience store staples: make-up and personal care items, cellphones and related merchandise and services, snacks to eat or drink are nearest the front checkout counter since they are most frequently bought. Putting frequent items nearest the cash register meets the definition of 'convenience' store. Without an inventory and manifest of shipment origin it is impossible to know, but many of the products travel across the ocean from China and the Southeast Asia nations. Once the shipping containers reach the west coast port and wait their turn to pass through inspection and unloading, then the steel rectangular containers can go onto truck bodies or flat-cars of railroads to travel to their customer distribution warehouse for packaging customized to each retail location's particular requests.
This photo shows the end of that long supply chain when requested materials leave the delivery truck and sit in the back of the store for the clerks to restock the shelves for the stream of shoppers. The boxes and bins that protect the shiny wrapping of the products quickly fills the dumpster for landfill storage. Cardboard is one of the most marketable recycled material, so that is segregated from the waste stream for collection separately.
During the Covid-19 pandemic the many shoppers confined to their homes began to rely on purchases made online more and more. The surge in demand led to some supply chain strains. And when the workers who form the links of that chain were themselves infected and quarantined, the manufacture, transportation, and even retail staffing made the challenge of keeping shelves stocked very difficult, indeed. Now almost 24 months from the public recognition of the virus wildly spreading at the end of 2019, much of the gaps and gluts in supply and its chain of delivery have mean smoothed out, although staff always seem to be in short supply themselves.

Faded garbage can lids tethered to the back fence of a backyard. Looks like these cans stay in the alley 24/7, 365.

The trash bins are below the wall at the back of the driveway. The cover allows one to work out of the rain or snow. Since the Mendocino County South Coast Transfer Station is on the East side of coastal ridge, it will snow here occasionally.

I guess all of these trucks were in for some kind of repairs, seeing how they were sitting in the Fleet Maintenance parking lot.
The three black cans are made by Tucker I believe. Because when AMS Industries was around, these cans were never made in black.
This can was bought one year after the 20 gallon can. It's in good shape. But the bottom has a few cracks.

Our March 24, 2012, paper shredding and recycling event had lots of participating County residents. A full complement of shredding trucks, assisted by a large team of staff and volunteers, kept vehicles moving efficiently. See our upcoming shredding event schedule at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/content/dep/solidwaste/educati...

I'd switch the lids on those cans.

The blue can is deep blue. I'm thinking San Diego or one of the cities serviced by Burrtec Waste Ind. The green one is obviously Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation.

Looks badass. Gotta buy two different cans at a Home Depot in the US just to get the equal of one of these.
The Daulat Ganj sewage treatment plant uses a vertical flow aerobic process in which the sewage is agitated so that it moves vertically in the tank (perpendicular to the floor). This requires a retention time of only 2 days. While the plant is designed for 56 million litres per day (MLD), it routinely handles 75-100 MLD
This one used to be blue for recycling in some other city. Likely Los Alamitos since there's a lot of blue Toters there.
Community support for the protection and management of the Mutsamudu River Basin is absolutely critical for the success of the demonstration project and a key component of the project is the establishment of a catchment management committee, comprising stakeholders with key water responsibilities and interests.
A water management plan has been developed following comprehensive consultations with stakeholders.
Bolstering these interventions is an inclusive public awareness campaign that is engaging the people of Mutsamudu in an effort to keep the river clean.
This campaign has quickly gained momentum, with students from the university joining and the army joining local residents in river clean-ups, tree planting excursions, workshops and seminars.
Excitingly, the project’s strong outreach component has attracted the attention of the Comorian diaspora – Comorans living in France, Mayotte and the USA who are now contributing their energy and enthusiasm to the community’s efforts to better manage the Mutsamudu catchment, improve water quality and combat disease.
