A couple of years ago, the garbage collection supervisor cam e to my house with a bill for over 30,000 pesos.
He said I must "Pay Up", or they would no longer collect my trash!
I "LOL"ed in his face.
Told him "OK"!
Since they never collected my trash in the last 13 years anyway.
He left, and I threw the bill in the street.
2020, you just reminded me of another reason, other than "Chicas", that I love the DR.
You can just throw your trash where ever yo want!
Out the car window is my preferred method!
Since I live at the top of a hill, everything just washes away, and no "Garbage Bill"!
Ther is a small canal at the foot of my hill, in front of the zoo.
Everything used to collect in a screen to protect the canal.
After a heavy rain, they would collect everything, and hall it away.
That meant a "Four Letter Word" to the Dominicans, "WORK"!
Soooooooooo they removed the screen.
Now everything washes into the canal, even a small child every once-in-a-while, then into the "Obama River", then the ocean.
If you can't see it, who cares anyway??????
SEE, after 27 years, even I can rationalize like a "Dominicano"!
