Amid all the talk of an increase in Laredo's fly population, Councilman Roque Vela has come up with an idea that he hopes will result in Laredoans being more careful in how they process their garbage: Trash Diving.
This is the stuff of which Reality shows are made! Vela and other council members as well as Laredo Health Department Director Gonzalez seem to think that Laredoans are to blame for the fly problem because they simply fail to separate their recyclables from other trash. This, in turn results in an over-abundance of non-recyclable trash which prevents many Laredoans from properly closing the lids on their Willie Botes.
Vela's solution as we mentioned before, is to go around and do some trash-diving. Literally, going through people's trash to prove that it's not the once-a-week trash pickup that is the problem. Instead, the councilman is very certain that he will encounter countless incidents the real culprit : poor trash handling. No word on what part of town, the councilman, with local media in tow, plan to start their diving operations.
Also, no word on what kind of super-hero outfits Vela and fellow councilman Vera, who has volunteered to go along on the dives will be donning.
If they go dumpster diving, that's okay. But they better not get mileage for their little excursions.
ReplyDeleteKR don't give them any ideas. They probably also ask for reimbursement for their dry-cleaning after the dumpster diving. It's hard to imagine that Mayor will not figure a way of getting into the fray with the runoff so close.
