The blue and white on the refuse cart are the municipality’s “logo”. The other bold colours are just India!

Reminds me of the ‘ash lorry’ of my childhood. Everything that would burn was put on the coal fire and the ashes kept in a galvanised bucket until collection day. No landfill sites then…

What did the ash-lorry do with the ashes? How did they dispose of them?

I think they were probably taken to the local ‘slag heap’ at, or near, the coal mine. These are, apparently, now covered by nature and look a lot better.

As you imply, it sounds much more sensible than the perils of land-fill..
