I just happened upon a diagram of Where the Mérida Trash goes, which was in the March 3, 2009 edition of the Diario de Yucatan. So far, though, I’ve been unable to open an issue this old on the Web site. I’ll give you my copy one of these days. All the questions aren’t answered, but much is. And incidentally, I recently saw a TV depiction of how trash is separated by a major USA management company–and they do people to do much of the sorting.

I have some illustrations but I don’t know how to insert them here so I’ll send you the pix + comments by email.

I want to know where the poop goes. When I first moved to Merida I was under the false impression that our feces traveled to a septic tank. It could be that the archetects are responsible for the septic tank lie as I’m sure they rightfully worry about the newcomers ability to handle the truth. Afterall, if we can’t handle the truth about how the toilet paper is resolvd, then how could we possibly handle the truth about the tons of poop going to nowhere.

We have pick-up six nights a week and have never paid a peso in almost 3 years. Recycle? – I can’t watch. Workers wearing flip-flops rip open the bags with their bare hands, looking for things to recycle. For where it goes next, contact someone at Merida Verde. They may have researched this.

Aha! Probably so. But still, where does it go?

Do you think it has something to do with the fact that you live near the headquarters of the political party that won the Municipal elections?
