A Yambol Waste Bin Full To The Brim

There is this reputation that Bulgarian just throw their rubbish everywhere and that there is no care about the environment when they do this. In actual fact form my experience in Yambol this has two sides. The younger generations tend to be more conscious of using of rubbish bins whereas the older generations tend to be the litterbugs. I can’t only put the older Bulgarian attitude this down to post reaction of communist times of the past when they could be put in prison for littering the street. This of course could well come back into play with western influence smothering Bulgaria. The well used waste bin pictured here is in an area where younger Bulgarians frequent – A good omen for the future.
