Every trash bin has an accompanying recycling bin. Whereas the recycling bins have stickers that identify what can be recycled, the trash bins have a big sticker placed on them that reads "LANDFILL" as to reminder the community where their garbage goes. This helps raise awareness about what we throw away and its end result.
