The waste pick-up system in this country fucking sucks
Seriously, how do you guys do it? This is driving me insane. I don’t know the exact system but in my region it seems like Paper (blue bin)/Plastic (yellow bags)/Bio (green bin) are picked up every 2-4 weeks. Glass once a month (gray bags). This works FINE!
The problem is that Restmüll (black bin) is only picked up once like every 2-3 weeks and my 4 person household REALLY struggles with this. Am I the only one? In majority of my very rural village, it’s mostly only single old people or an old couple living together so I don’t think they struggle as much, but for my household it is very difficult. Restmüll should be getting picked up EVERY WEEK!
Just posting to ask if this crazy schedule is in all of Germany or only my very rural village? It’s stressing me TF out!!!
