Phil and I were walking by a garbage truck in Zurich, thinking that it seemed a little overkill to use a crane to lift up a little sidewalk garbage can:
Then it got more interesting:
And, whoa, this big thing started coming out of the ground:
Turns out there are giant garbage cylinders hidden under the sidewalks of old town Zurich:
This is how they dump the contents into the truck:
Impressive!
Always have been fascinated by the culture and things they do in that region, starting with the simplest matters.
In Amsterdam they have hi-tech urinals that remain in the ground during the day but emerge at night to give all the drunks somewhere to pee.
I was expecting a humorous ending along the lines of "Look how lazy these sanitation workers are…" — this was significantly more intriguing.
That's pretty cool! 🙂 You learn something new everyday! …
Wow!
