We all know that garbage has always been a great deal in the DR but something that I wonder a lot about is why haven’t any government ever thought of recycling programs?? Dominicans are fast learners; they can be taught to recycle, can’t they??

Right now I am in India and made a quick trip to Thailand and it is incredible how sparkling clean that city is…they give you a fine even for throwing gum in the streets..oh! and if you smoke be sure to do it next to a dustbin cause if you get caught throwing any cigarette bun in the streets you will have to pay more than what the pack cost you.

I heard that in DR they were charging people that throw garbage in the streets, but what happens with the money??? Does it end in a colmado after the police officer has a masita and a mabi???

Have any of you actually seen this happen?? Or better yet, have any of you ever been charged?? (shame on you if you have).
