dumpster
this is so typical of Italy. Thyese rubbish/trash receptacles are the ones which are "stationary" in designated areas. I would not call them skips as this is something different. Dumpster is a US term but I cannot for the life remember if there is a UK term - rubbish bin / rubbish container: by the way Hi Pauley

Hi Pauley - Side loader is too specific. I suppose that the etxt you are translating does infer that the dumpsters or whatever are the side loading type to be emptied - so it's down to you gut feeling. Have a gud day

| yeah, agree. you've also got your "bells" which are not wheelie. you know, those you put glass and paper in for the "raccolta differenziata". they are very much "stationary". |

There may be a better UK term, if there is it's escaping me for now. This has 26k Ghits to be going on with anyway.

Oliver Lawrence
: IMHO, to an ordinary UK reader this would probably suggest the individual bins that each house has, not the shared communal things that we're talking about here
