Ghosts

The sunlight shining on one of Sunčan's photos which hangs in our hall, caused a reflection in our kitchen window, and our neighbour's kitchen window. Sun was a rare phenomenon today, so I grabbed my camera and managed to catch it before the next cloud.

They provide containers like the one above for general rubbish.

Then there are bins like this for recycling glass, paper, and packaging:


Finally, residents of this street can put food waste in brown bins:

And I haven't seen any fly-tipping or rubbish just lying around on this street.
I wonder why?
