Check out this Korean ride! This cool cat has converted his Chinese motorcycle into a functional pickup. If you look closely, you can see that he is hauling cardboard.
Why cardboard? Well, the garbage system works a little different here! First you must separate your trash into categories; food compost, plastic, metal, cardboard, and just plain trash. The plain trash must be put into a special bag that you pay for at grocery stores and corner stores. If you don't separate your trash you will be fined or be harassed by the old ladies on the street corner. That's how Lauren got welcomed to the neighborhood- a free tutorial on how to separate garbage. She hasn't dropped off the trash since.
The elderly collect the recyclable metal, plastic, and cardboard for money. Essentially, it's a well-fare program for the disadvantaged elderly. If you don't separate your garbage, you are making it difficult for old people to make money to support themselves.
