Also, it seems most people here produce far less trash than most places I have lived. Most food is NOT prepackaged, but made fresh. That alone eliminates a very large amount of trash, and the need to recycle it.

(I just didn't want anyone to get a wholly negative view of Moroccan trash cleanup practices. )
Indeed, I wish more food was fresh in the UK. I will say that for 2 adults in this house, we only produce 1 bag of rubbish a week and 2 small boxes of recycling. Which is quite good really. If only they recycled plastic in this area too - my rubbish would halve then.
