more men at work in zurich, cont'd

Z in Villigen posted on the Altpapiersammlung in her village. Thankfully, ours comes twice a month, rather than 4 times a year. Paper must be stacked and tied in neat little bundles in order for it to be collected. Here are two men and a truck, hard at work, collecting paper in Old Town Zurich.







"We build for Zurich" - I've been seeing these signs posted by the city administration all over the place since I moved here. Construction work is constant. The interesting thing is that the signs contain detailed info, complete with diagrams, on the construction project, the contractor, and the expected completion date. The most amazing thing is that, unlike all other cities I've lived in, the construction is actually completed on time! No delays! Probably no cost overruns either...Then, they just move on to the next construction, er..beautification project.
