Unfortunatelly the amount of trash that is produced by “civilization” today, by far exceeds the system’s ability to handle it. Making it “go away” so people will “not see it” or believe in some magical method of recycling which turns an old plastic bottle in to a new one with zero environmental cost (some people say elfs are doing this job when they are not helping santa claus), is just a way that people will not feel guilty about the trash.
The only solution to save -not only greece- but earth itself is to stop producing the garbage. Do not accept plastic bags, bottles and other kinds of containers. They don’t magically go away if you put some bins in selected locations…
Better make the people aware of such facts, like ie, that a plastic one-time use cup is not a sign of “civilization” but instead a sign of irresponsibility.

Hi there, thanks for your time and effort guys! I’m a local, living in Nafplio and would love to help out. Unfortunately I didn’t know beforehand that someone would do such a lovely, caring thing. I’d be more than happy to organize a small local group next time you come here. Please e-mail me, and thanks again!!

Could the municipality not place a few bins at the end of the road? It may not solve the problem 100% (some people just will not use the bins) but it looks like there is plenty of space.
