I agree about the rubbish being thrown everywhere without any consideration.
I rebuked a girl I was with once for throwing her rubbish on the ground and not in a nearby bin. She had an instant bullshit answer: She did it because it gave somebody work picking it up.

For such a nationalist brainwashed population through school, I would hope it might be easy to encourage them to throw their rubbish in a bin and not on the ground, by 'taking pride and keeping their country tidy'.

They might have a permanent job with the sewerage company after their release
