Sorting Trash in Spain: A Rule, Not a List

A short practical course for anyone living in Spain. Not a list of what goes where, but a rule that works on an item you have never seen before: why the yellow container is for packaging, not for plastic, how vidrio differs from cristal, what to do with oil, medicines, and batteries, and how to find your own city's rules. Inside: the “¿Dónde lo tiro?” sorting trainer, which explains every mistake.
