This is possibly the most colourful and nicely decorated garbage truck I’ve seen, anywhere. Spotted on the streets of Stockholm — another oldie from my visit to northern Europe back in 2014.

See the pedals on this horse? They help power a generator to allow users to charge their mobile devices. There’s a USB charging port on the back of the horse’s neck. Neat, functional public art.
