All right. So your trash now already is in garbage truck. What's after that? What are happens after the truck is filled with your trash? 

The garbage truck chokes and splutters and off it goes making the people around it smile and spreading it's beautiful fragrance. It roars away, I past the big general store and the corner's shop. It thunders past people and trees and animals and birds on the street. And then, it reaches its destination.

And wow... it looks so exotic and gorgeous, the destination. It's full of different bright colors. So colorful. So many different things. Diversed and secular. Immortal and elated plastic bags, single-use plasric, reusable trash, exquisite faces of trash. Heaps and loads of it, forming an enormous mountain.

It looks so... so beautiful and scenic .
