On urrlvfin[ at & house a clean, sterilize@l box is taken from the cart, while the full one takes its place, the lid being clamped down so firmly that no dust or smell can escape. As soon as all have been exchanged the dug cart drives to the refuse station. Under this system every house has & clean dust bin each day.
