I'm a simple emigrant, and disposing of trash in Germany is a difficult matter

In Germany, garbage is a whole science. I already told that sorting is a common thing here. Classic containers for plastic, paper, bio-waste, and the rest exist in every home. And glass containers are shared among several houses, and sometimes even for the whole block. By the way, glass is sorted too, by color: green, brown, and clear. I, of course, sort garbage too. I first collect glass at home into large bags, and then I go to throw all this into the containers to the soundtrack of alcoholism, like a law-abiding immigrant. But you understand that simply sorting garbage is too easy. There is also a second level of difficulty. It turns out that on Sundays you can't throw out glass. One time my German friend was driving a car and along the way threw out literally just a few bottles. And here, naturally, appears the neighbor from German jokes. She seemed to be hiding in the bushes, just waiting for someone to throw out a bottle with a distinctive sound. And finally luck smiled on her and a person she could reprimand and remind that he is a flagrant offender. It would be funny to become a criminal in a country of unlearned lessons about sorting garbage. I can't remember if I ever did the same, but I think I did. On the way to a Sunday stroll, I would probably throw away a couple of bottles, without even thinking. But now I don't do that anymore, to avoid guilt. Have you ever had it happen: you seem to be following all the rules, but not in the eyes of the attentive neighbors? #Ordnung
