Every City or big town around the world has its own system of internal self management, with bodies like town councils, municipalities and city councils taking charge. These bodies are charged with taking care of security, sanitation, trade, planning, and general events of their stronghold. Beautification of cities is under these bodies although private developers and sponsors have been around to give a hand when necessary.
In UK, it is not different and the competition for cleanliness is always there. Southampton is very popular and residents of this city are not allowed to litter without cause. There are tough rules to ensure the city is kept clean, from the trade centers to the residential. To ensure that people dispose garbage in the right place, there are litter drop points where residents can freely drop their waste, excluding liquids.
Bulldozers owned by the city council collect the waste from these drop points occasionally and take it to a much safer disposal. Some waste is decomposed chemically while in some incidences, useful litter is recycled and used for a better cause. Fertilizer is made from decomposed waste just in case you didn’t know. To ensure that the waste does not become a nuisance to the immediate environment, it is kept in covered bins before being sprayed. (more...)
