09:45 < mikkele> hallo, are there some natives? hope you are! we have a big problem, there are some words about rubbish/garbage etc. we need in BRITISH
09:45 < mikkele> can someone help me please?
09:45 <@dowoc> just ask your question, maybe someone can help you..
09:53 < mikkele> I need to find some information about the british waste system (like: Do you have different garbage cans/ Do you seperate waste?) I'm also looking for special vobabulary ( for example: the british word for a garbage truck).
09:53 <@dowoc> have you tried searching the web ?
09:56 < mikkele> Yes. I didn't find a short summery about how british people handle waste. I looked up the word garbage truck in a british dictionary and I found dustcart which sounds wrong to me???
09:57 <@dowoc> hmm, don't know about that I'm not a native..
09:57 <@dowoc> Try the links from our topic
09:58 < mikkele> Yep. Thanks!
09:58 <@dowoc> no problem :>
09:59 <@dowoc> hmm
09:59 <@dowoc> you're right, in England a garbage truck is called a dustcart
10:00 <@dowoc> at least dictionary.com says so..:>
