A little while ago, Jack in Hartford, Connecticut posted pictures of trash day. Here's Versailles' recycling reply, as seen in Notre-Dame neighbourhood on a Thursday!
Il y a quelques temps, Jack à Hartford dans le Connecticut postait des photos des poubelles de recyclage. Voici la réponse de Versailles, les poubs de recyclage dans le quartier Notre-Dame !
je trouve que cela rend bien, ce bleu est un bon choix (pour l'instant soeur anne ne voit rien venir sur Evry....................)
ReplyDeleteThat Jack has sure started something : ) I like the French way.
ReplyDeleteSo neat. In the top shot, they look like little blue soldiers.
ReplyDeleteEven trash day looks so tasteful.
ReplyDeleteWe have blue garbage cans for one trash pick-up company and green one for another company here in EAGAN!
ReplyDeleteThey are so much nicer than ours. I wish we could get more people to use them.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, maybe a garbage meme. We have pretty much the same as Jack, but ours is high tech - there's an RFID tag built in the can. When they pick up your recycling, they give you points based on the weigh of the recycled items. After you recycle like 5,000 tons of cans and bottles, you can cash in for a $10 iTunes gift card (it's better than nothing!). I just wish people would use ANY trash receptacle, I hate liter.
ReplyDeleteYour system looks quite similar to ours, Cieldequimper, although our streets are so very different from yours.
ReplyDeleteIn the region where I live, the residential areas have black on Tuesday and pink on Thursday. Pink is for recycling, and black is for garbage! Interesting choice of blue color...like it!

ReplyDeleteIn the Valleys we have green....."How green is my Wheely Bin" See.
ReplyDeleteA pretty blue.
ReplyDeleteA nice system. I wish my country were so organized.
(So that's how you spell poubelles.
It was one of the first words I picked up while working in the Swiss monastery refectoire; the other was fumier de cheval, for the jardin.)
Oh how I lvoe that word 'poubelles' from now on it is never going to be 'have you put the bins down' it's going to be the 'poubelles'. haha! can you just imagine the "huh!!!!" the first time I do. Thank you Ciel I really need cheering up.
ReplyDeletethe containers look clean and tidy. I have to take mine to town, garbage too.
ReplyDeleteWednesday doorways, skywatch fridays, and maintenant Trash days!..Bon, pour moi, ce sont des pooubelles, j'ai un peu de mal à m'extasier...:o))
ReplyDeleteOr dumpsters, of anzy size, aren't so photogenic!
ReplyDeleteLOL trash days, cool!
ReplyDeleteHere in Luxembourg they are blue as well!For papers!

'Versailles recycling reply'! :-) I remember Jack's post.
ReplyDeleteIf I want to dream, I come to your blog... ah...
ReplyDeleteDes poubelles avec leur propre armoirie s'il vous plait!
ReplyDeleteOnly you could make blue recycle bins look so appealing. I'm sorry to be so remiss in commenting, I'm under a deadline that I'm scrambling to meet!
ReplyDeleteSharon
ca colore un peu la rue ;O)
ReplyDelete... welch eine nette "Mülltonnenkonversation" :)))
ReplyDelete,vielleicht regt es ein wenig an über das allgemeine Müllverhalten nachzudenken.

dois falloir avoir les chaussures à Carl Perkins pour les sortir
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!!! My garbage can is gray and the recycle is blue too. MB
ReplyDeleteOnly Versailles can make garbage day look so elegant!!!
ReplyDeleteThe blue containers actually match quite nicely with all those French blue doors!
ReplyDeleteBucharest was dotted with three plastic recycling containers... yellow, blue, green... Haven't seen any here in Manila...
