Yellow sack day

Today is another yellow sack day. It's not terribly exciting, but these yellow sacks pretty much control our lives so I thought it would be important to mention them. As you know, Germany leads the world (at least we think so!) in recycling and these yellow sacks play a large role in that. Everything that is plastic, metal, aluminum, carton...goes in the yellow sack (there's a list with pictures on the side so there's no excuse to mess up). You DO NOT put paper or just regular garbage in these sacks or you will get an embarrassingly large red sticker on the side and you'll have to haul that sack back to your house and sort through it. Not a happy scene. Anyway, the yellow sacks go out on the street about every 4 weeks or so. It's on the official calendar so you can't miss it. But if you do, you'll see the sacks going out so you just follow suit. Works for me!
