We open the trashcan, put in the garbage and that’s it. We don’t even recognize the people anymore, who take care of our waste every day. Self-evidently they remove what others leave behind or throw away. But what actually happens to all our waste? This documentary shows the way our garbage takes and what is to become of it. It also shows the importance of organization to keep a major city like Hamburg clean.
