Christmas Decorations

These are the results of a two-day strike of our garbage collectors, just before the weekend.

Our city-owned garbage collection company is in trouble: it has a big hole in its balance sheet.

This is one of our garbage truck, or as they say Waste Collection Vehicle, emptying dumpsters in “Viale Caprera”, almost where a new canal has been recently dug.This type of side loader is automatic and it is usually operated by the driver alone.
