I spent 2 months in PR. It is a beautiful country with fantastic people and views, but they will throw trash anywhere. You look up and see a fantastic view and you look down and you see trash everywhere

We should hire earth day libs to go collect and recycle all that cardboard and plastic.

Just burn the shite you fricking morons. Use the heat to run some sort of electric generation, or whatever. Burying trash is just dumb as dumb can get

Large incinerators would do the trick. "Out of sight, out of mind" by burying it is not the ticket.

Fred Sanford was right about Puerto Ricans and garbage. A few exchanges had had with Julio:
Fred to Julio: "Go clean your yard up. Take a bath."
Julio to Fred: "I keep Chico (his goat) to keep the place clean."
Fred to Julio: "I bet that's a full-time job over at your place."
Fred to Chico (while chasing him away): "If you want something to eat, eat them empty Frito bags layin' around over there."

Why doesn't FEMA send them some matches? Problem solved.

Sounds like the South, except for the people and views.

Japan has the most efficient garbage incinerators in the world. Copy what they do.

the media thinks it’s “racist” because they ignore this story and then therefore assume the joke is calling the Puerto Rico people “trash” when the joke was the truth
You should see how angry they get when you tell them that closer to the equator you are, the dumber the people.

You must be in the landfill business

Mismanagement of resources isn’t racist. It’s simply poor decision making.
Yep. And leadership in PR slammed Trump, claiming he wasn’t helping the people out after the hurricane.
Then they found warehouses packed full of rotting supplies that same local leadership hid from the people.

Should never be option #1.

Depends on a whole host of factors... On an island, I would tend to agree with you but even in a really advanced and land locked location, like Japan, 30% of their garbage is still landfilled...
Cost drives what happens with waste in developed countries...

PR has A LOT of problems, not just a garbage one. Aside from perhaps having strategic value, I would gladly jettison it from the US collection of territories.
