Collecting trash, but also learning something about it? On this somewhat different city tour through Altona, we look down rather than up. Between the train station and the town hall, we're surprised by the amount of trash we find on the sidewalks and in the park—and, let's just say, we find quite a bit!
Along the way, you'll learn all sorts of exciting things about waste, for example, who, where, and how came up with the idea of the ice cream stick (and how it was probably packaged), how long a paper tissue takes to decompose, and what thirst-quencher cartons are made of.
At the end, we looked behind the scenes of waste disposal and probably collected a bag full of trash!
