My thing is, if the dumpster right there...why the hell the people can put the trash in it vs littering scratch Rolling Eyes , da just complete laziness.

Is it because there is not enough dumpster scratch

I want to believe that the main problems with those who are involved
in that act are lazy and dirty. I remember seeing trash drums at each
intersection in Monrovia and one of them as I can record had poop in it and
dirt was everywhere around it. They do not have strength to put the dirt in the
drum but are capable of putting poop into it. They are helping to make the city
dirty and still complain about it being filthy. I sometimes ask myself; what is
the importance of the city police? Because you usually see them around the
market ground collecting money from business men and women and not functioning
in helping to keep the city clean.

So when trash is picked up, where is it taken to? Are there decent trash landfills near the city?

And, how often is the trash picked up? could it be that what's around the dumpster is an overflow?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I under the impression that the city was putting dumpsters in some areas AFTER the trash was already piled high.

I can remembered that when i was home the trash will just pile and the city dumb truck will not come to get it thereby leaving the city dirty. Another thing is that the city government needs to enforce the penalty for littering. I admire the oldlady who was cleaning after herself like CG indicated...We need to do more.

for some people, its just plain laziness to walk to the trash can to empty their trash.. for others, cuz the lazy ones have crowded the path TO the can with THEIR trash, they dont want to walk over it so they follow suit. No

Something I have seen here and do believe it helps greatly to manage waste deposit.. and that is the use of garbage bag. By using a garbage bag, can protect the garages from spilling over and from bad smell. The corporation (MCC) responsible for waste collection in Liberia should introduce this and make garbage bags available and accessible for all and mandates all garages coming to the garages site be in bags

Do they still have those public service announcements like they did in the late eighties? back then, there was the population growth performance by Liberian Artists, then Flomo had several psa's...I think he made popular the phrase - Hold your nose and pass... How does the govt educate nowadays?????
