HOW AMSTERDAM DISPOSES OF ITS TRASH
Amsterdam uses underground bins which are sprinkled throughout each neighborhood for their recycling and regular trash programs. These bins get picked up a couple of times each week. They use a garbage truck with a small crane on top of it, to pull these bins out of the ground and into their trucks.
Each person would walk to the nearest locations, dump their regular trash into one container and their recycling and compost into the others, then walk away.
It's as simple as that!
This would also cut back on traffic jams caused by Sanitation trucks when clearing an entire block of garbage bags and trashcans.
For larger items, like bed frames, mattresses, or armoires, Amsterdam has a separate truck with a crane attached, that picks up these items in one lift.
