If I stand at the top of the river bank I can look over towards the little village of Zuchwil. Not such a little village, it once had many factories, names like Sulzer and Robert Bosch remain in my memory, but now no longer. I even worked for the Scintilla, which was a connection with Robert Bosch, in my first job in the area. A memorable place for me, where I met Mr. Swiss, but that is another story. The factories closed or were reduced in size and production is now being made in other places. One industry still remains.
Our garbage burning plant is there. The chimneys pour out their smoke day and night and we are assured it is not dangerous to the environment. I have taken many photos of it over the years, but it always seems to look different according to the background or how the wind is blowing We all produce garbage, and in our area it is collected in the official plastic bags and afterwards burnt. The bags are quite expensive, but help to cover the costs of burning. and they are quite original in design.
They demonstrate their hunger for the garbage.
If you have anything larger, such a furniture you can take it yourself. Mr. Swiss once took two armchairs. You drive onto the scales with your transport and it is weighed. Afterwards the refuse is tipped into the eternal fires and again the transport is weighed. The price for burning is then calculated according to the difference in weight.
And what other garbage burning plant has the mountains of the Bernese Overland in the background, including the Eiger.
