Berlin, I Love Your Trash Cans.

Berlin, I Love Your Trash Cans.

We were walking the streets of Berlin, surrounded by history and beauty, and yet I was looking for trash cans (and bears).  Thankfully they aren’t all that hard to find given their bright orange color.  I thought they were so entertaining that I started taking photos of them about halfway through our weekend there.

Why should you love Berlin’s trash cans, too?

Because they represent Berlin well.

  1. You should check out Hamburg and its trash cans, too! They've done something pretty similar with them.

  2. Wow! This is brilliant. I don't recall seeing these when we went to Berlin 2 years ago. Thanks for sharing – gave me a chuckle! #wanderfulwednesday

  3. These are awesome! What a fun way to get people to notice the trash cans and hopefully actually use them! I didn't notice these while I was visiting Berlin. I wonder if their fairly new? Or maybe I'm just not that observant …… So fun though! Thanks for sharing 😀
