Plastic Wheelie Bins in Yambol

Wherever you go in Yambol, every hundred metre or so you will see these black plastic wheelie bins on public roads. They are ransacked by the Roma folk for plastic, metal and other reusable items before the truck come along and empty them regularly. Of course fly tipping goes on with the broken toilet dumped alongside - no claims on this item though.

A Yambol Toilet By The Tundzha River

As I walk along a quiet path by the scenic Tundzha River I come across an old Yambol toilet been dumbed there. This is a common not only in Yambol but all over Bulgaria where fly tipping is considered normal. Although not publically acceptable, it is put up with by Bulgarian as part of the culture here. This dumping of rubbish puts many people off being expatriates here, understandable.
