Many European countries have involved the process of sorting out the rubbish into the daily routine of their citizens. People tell their children about the Earth's ecosystem and the importance of saving nature from an early age. That's why the idea of sorting out the rubbish into 4 different bins has become a part of their lives.
Europeans sort their household waste into 4 different bins. They have them everywhere: at homes, in the cafes, parks, flats, hotels, supermarkets. The yellow bin is for plastic, aluminium or packaging. They use the blue one for paper and cardboard boxes. Notably, the paper should be clean. It means that a used pizza box must be thrown into the brown bin (the compostable one). As for the grey bins, they use it for other trash like tins, aerosols or milk boxes.
This strategy of effective sorting makes people become aware of their contribution to the protection of the environment.
