Where does the trash go?

Here is the trash receptacle. A big truck comes by and empties it about once or twice a week. I am sure that the thing is made from old truck tires. These are everywhere in Udon Thani. Everyday a number of guys prowl the neighborhood with bikes or motorized contraptions. They go through every garbage receptacle and dig out scraps of cardboard, cans and bottles including plastic bottles. Everything is recycled but it is all a private enterprise. Those that get there first get the good stuff!
