SWEDISH PROBLEM?

This morning in the office:
Me to cleaningwoman: - What are we gonna do with all my empty plastic bottles? Where are the recycling bins?
Cleaningwoman: Laughs, There are non, we throw them away in the garbage!
Me: No, I don't wanna do that, that destroys the nature and forests, so our children can't live on a clean planet in the future, etc, etc-and I don't want that, I wanna recycle them as we do in Sweden!
Cleaningwoman: laughs (and think I'm kind of crazy)
Me: So there are no recycle bins here, anywhere??
Everyone: NO!
Me: :S
