Trash Cans and Chipped Bags

After we registered, we asked about trash collection. A clerk told us to return the next day between 1:30 and 3:00 to pick up our trash bags and cans outside the town hall. We showed up right at 1:30, and the person handing them out spoke fluent German. He had spent over 20 years working in Nürmberg, Germany. That made the process really easy, and we collected our official trash cans (one for paper and cardboard, one for metal and glass, one for compostables) and a set of bags (for plastic and general trash). The general trash bags have a small RFID tag so the town can keep track of them.
