Good point. I traveled in Europe this summer and I noticed they have much more transh bins on the streets than in Japan. In Japan, where can we find trash bins? Convenience stores, yes. Stations, a little, you have to look for them. Parks, some don't have them at all. Campus, yes.

However, I rarely see broken bottles on the street. In some places in Europe, I saw them every 5 minutes.
