Collecting Sewage

[sapodila]

The **** truck is here! :o Never had I seen one of those in my neighbourhood :shock: I was under the impression that when you flush, it goes down the "clean out" to some collective "plant" via pipes. I am shocked to see a truck and three men wearing gloves with big hose extracting from a "covered" recepticle in the road..... front of my house :shock: :?: :?: Ah have questions fuh dem......but never mind.....ah eh goin out dey.

I no the latrine truck does still come around in TnT.... rite? What do they do with the waste to help the environment? I hear dey does put it in our top soil here.

No uncle Ragszzie... read meh post nah :D I went outside and ask for an explaination as to why they are in front my house with "that" truck. They said they periodically clean the drains on every street in every neighbourhood... no need to be alarmed.

well I'm thankful for that. 8-)

The drains and canals of T&T, just about every where, are in the most deplorable condition these days, and there is no sight of anyone doing anything about them these days. With general election over, do Trinis have to wait until another general election to enjoy clean streets, drains and canals?

Before the last general elections, you could eat off the ground in T&T, but not today or at least not for the last month that I have been here. Garbage and waste of all kinds can be seen every where, clogging up all the drains, side walks, and canals, and just creating breeding grounds for diseases of all kinds.

I used to say it was God and the Indian spirituality that saved the people of India when I observed their drains and canals all clogged up with garbage. But now, I have to wonder about what is saving the people of T&T whose streets, drains and canals are over burdened with gook and junk of all kinds.

In some areas, you can see waste management trucks passing by every day of the week, even on Sundays, and yet the kinds of garbage you see down the drains and canals make you wonder what have become of Trinis who just seem to push every thing down the drains.

You can only pray for God to save this nation from diseases. The air is more polluted today than I have ever seen in all my years of living here and visiting here. Yet proseperity of every kind can be seen every where.

I keep wondering why they are not using the sewage collection trucks to suck up the garbage that is just stagnant below all the side walks everywhere.

Is it that all the PNM supporters are so up to their eye brows with contracts that there are no more PNM supporters to whom they can give out waste management contracts?

I have always told myself that where ever there are Trinibagonians, there will be cleanliness. I sort of believed that it went hand in hand because ' WE are a clean people ' ( until my visit to Queens that is :roll: ) I see the new T&T generation eating at restaurants and leaving their trash on the tables . When I pick up my stuff to put it in the trash can, they say to me " what yuh tink dey getting paid for! " (not only in Trinidad eh ) . It seems that some people do not take pride in their surroundings anymore. The authorities are not strict about cleanliness and you are rite BRji, they probably ran out of PNM supporters to capacitate the voids including thrash collection in Trinidad.

I will never forget the day by biggest brother told me that he was making another man's job easier. One day I saw my brother breaking up the big boxes for the garbage truck to pick up. I casually asked him why he was breaking up the boxes when the garbage truck would pick them us as they were. He said "don't make another man's job hard for him.
