Our homeowner's association distributed free trash bins to each household. I thought that they would give stainless steel drums but they gave the big rubbermaid type bins.
It's part of the association's drive to promote cleanliness in the village. They also promoted lectures on garbage segregation. There are also garbage trucks which pick up the garbage at regular intervals. This is a good thing because if we wait for the city government to move, it will probably cause the garbage to build up because they can't come to our village at more frequent intervals.
I guess it just means that if you have a smaller group of concerned people, like the village officers, you can make more things happen in your own locality and not just depend on the bigger government unit to come and take care of you.
