Where do you see frequent trash cans and people regularly throwing trash out in the street?

Typically trash in the street means you don't have enough trash cans, or a bunch of youth or homeless people whom society is failing.

    I have been in few countries in Europe and I see trash in the street. Japan doesn't have trash bins (not in the street, train, stations) and you won't see trash in the street.

    I am not lying and if you do some search you will find out that there are rarely trash bins in the whole Japan. And that is the result of the 90s terrorist attacks. I have been there and I rarely seen trash bins and I have been in many different cities. There are may be exceptions in some areas but that is not the norm.

    Why isn't a smart design? Why spend money for something that is not necessary. Also bringing trash home will ensure that people will recycle them. Trash recycling do exists in Europe but not in street trash bins. Trash bins exists in Europe because otherwise people will just throw their trash in the street like they do for cigarettes butts.

    Haha, I need to take your word for because you say so when everyone says that trash bins are rare in Japan. There are even people asking for a guide to find trash bins.

    Trash bin do exists but not everywhere especially in the streets. And when they exist it is only two types. And you will that people do not recycle and I saw the cleaners mix them.

    When I say there is trash in the ground, I didn't mean that you see it everywhere.

    Why isn't it fair to compare Japan to Europe?
