Rubbish



We have since moved to Cambodia.  It seems that the way garbage collection works is that garbage is left out in plastic bags on the side-walk.  The garbage collectors pick up these bags on the designated days.

Residents would put the garbage out when they think the designated days have arrived.  If the garbage is not picked up on these days, then the garbage will stay out for an extra day or two.

Stray dogs will sometimes tear the plastic bags when looking for scraps.  Insects and other pests may get to the rubbish before the rubbish collectors also.

Nevertheless, the rubbish collectors do a good job in cleaning up when they come around.
