Life in Kosova, and Malishevë, includes dealing with the abundance of trash, everywhere. My first experience with the trash dumpsters was during my second trip to Kosova when I took the trash out at night. I carried the bag down 4 flights of stairs, to a dark area behind the apartment building where the dumpsters were. I tossed the bag into the dumpster and out came several cats...it scared me to death. In Malishevë there has been a dumpster about 100 yards from my apartment, parked right on the street. Yesterday, I went to throw out my trash and the dumpster is not there. I looked at other places where I have seen them parked before, I can't find a dumpster anywhere on the streets of Malishevë. I am sure the locals were wondering why I was walking the streets with a bag of trash...looking confused. Who do I ask to find out where the dumpsters are now...?
I carried my bag of trash back to my apartment. At least it is cold and it doesn't smell right now.
In the US, now, there are all these different recycling trash bins...one for paper, one for glass/metal, one for non-recyclable stuff. I just want one dumpster within walking distance for my weekly bag of trash. The locals would have just tossed their trash out behind the building in an empty field...I will wait until I can find out where to take my trash.
Stay tuned...
