Garbage is a big problem in India and unfortunately many people just throw their garbage in the street or literally over their fence. Garbage segregation is compulsory (I have 5 bins in my kitchen!), but outside of the gated communities not many people seem to care (or willing/able to pay for the garbage collection).

Last week this sign appeared at that same spot:

| It is a start |
And it got even better! Look at what I saw this morning:
