Clean streets and recycling in Indian city

The Indian city of Indore has made a clean streets and recycling campaign really work, even training people to reject the old habits of dropping trash on the street. Success has continued for 8 years.

My mother taught never to drop trash on the street, and I am glad she did. In Boston I occasionally tell a stranger "you just dropped something" which seems to be trash, hoping it will lead to a change of habit. But this would be far more effective as part of a general campaign. And having trash bins everywhere would certainly help. Near my home, you have to walk for blocks to find one.
