Living in Berlin for a little while now, I can safely say that Germans take their garbage and recycling extremely seriously. It’s not uncommon to hear of anecdotes where neighbours reprimanded you for not making your cardboard package flat before throwing it, or removing the plastic from the envelope and discarding that in a separate trashcan. As inspiring and fascinating it is, it can also be a tad bit confusing and specific the more you wish to do it right. Despite how systematic it is and how straightforward it seems from the bird’s eye view, the confusion happens when we are dealing with mixed material items. To add to that dilemma, each German city and town follows their own set of rules too, making standardisation not so efortless. This has resulted in a garbage problem in the city despite having one of the most practical systems in place. To tackle this very real issue, I decided to create a social project that first, brings awareness about the intricacy of the system especially to foreigners and expats. Second, develop social media and digital channels that makes it easy for people to ask questions, upload photos and understand the system of trash separation with ease. And third, get in touch with BVG.
