These photos are of trash in the wild. By keeping our eyes peeled for waste, we got to see if Sardinia is really the model of waste management that Professor Onnis-Hayden would have us believe.
 |
| Trash With a View: at a scenic overlook on the road from Bosa to Alghero, dumped bags of trash sit. Lots of tour buses were stopping to let people out for pictures. Apparently someone thought that a little garbage wasn't enough to spoil the view. |
 |
| Stranger In a Dark Alley: this battery was sitting next to the trash can. I'm not sure whether there is curbside collection of special waste, but it's important that the battery is disposed of in a safe manner. |
 |
| Separated at Birth: separate bins for recyclables and general waste |
 |
| Trash Gets Class: this mural on an apartment building is made up of many different colored glass bottles |
 |
| Double Parked: collection bins like this line the streets all around the city, sometimes taking up sidewalk or road space. |
 |
| Neptune's Treasure: A container of mixed refuse sits at the entrance to Neptune's Caves in Alghero. Better here than in the caves, I guess. |
 |
Model Status: yes, Emiliano is handsome. But I'm talking about this bin full of cardboard as a model of efficient separation.
|
 |
What Rolls Around Comes Around: used tires are repurposed as a children's ride in the town of Alghero. Giddy up!
|
 |
| Resist (and Recycle): collection bins sit on the curb beneath graffiti reading "No to military bases". The military presence in Sardinia may be great but so is its separate stream waste management. |
 |
| Wasted: extra construction materials sit on the street outside of a home that was under renovation in Bosa. Fun fact: construction and demolition waste is not considered part of the municipal solid waste (MSW) stream. |
