Litter News You Can Use

The Delegado, Francisco, is happy to do what he can to reduce litter on La Manzanilla's streets and beach and thus help keep La Manzanilla beautiful and reduce garbage that washes into the bay during the rainy season. To that end, the Delegation's office has agreed to manage the lending library for litter grabbers (pinzas para basura) and buckets (cubos). La Manzanilla Hermosa donated 8 grabbers and 10 buckets to the Delegation's office, which will check them out to anyone willing to do litter patrol or organize litter collection events. Also, the Delegation will use these tools for community events that they organize. La Manzanilla Hermosa will replace tools as they break down and will add more tools as needed. To arrange to check out litter collection tools from the lending library, contact the Delegation's secretary, Esmerelda, at 315-351-5048 or garciacobian@hotmail.com, if you are able to speak or write in Spanish. Usually, the Delegation's office is open Mon-Fri between 9 am to 3 pm. In addition, the Delegado is working with La Manzanilla Hermosa on its public waste can project. We hope to strategically place about 10 cans soon, with many more to follow. Our ultimate goal is to help make Bahia de Tenacatita the most plastic-free bay in the world. We believe we can do this, with everyone's help. Respectfully, Vicki Mercer Lead, Litter Committee La Manzanilla Hermosa | -------------------Re: Litter News You Can Use

This looks like a great way to corral the plastics, while still keeping folks aware of how much we are consuming.

WOW! on all fronts, barrels and Goby the fish. Anything that will take that plastic off the streets and beach. I hope someone makes or gets a mesh fish for our playa. Semana Santa is coming and one of those would make a fun collection site. FYI, Anahi has placed a beautiful mesh heart at Gran Caiman Hotel. It is both attractive and attracts plastic bottle caps at the same time. Anahi is collecting caps to cover cancer treatments for children. I wish I knew how to put a photo on this Board. Hey, David D., a possible project? Anyway, save those caps and stroll to the Hotel. You'll be glad you did and it helps those kids. Cruz

Bump Feel free to check out one grabber and bucket, or more. It is always good to patrol as much as possible before the rains arrive. Rolling out public waste cans is still on the horizon. | -------------------Re: Litter News You Can Use

I went to the recycle drop off yard by the school yesterday just to have a look. I have to say it's a filthy dumping ground. Looks like someone dropped the ball. The garbage should be cleaned up, hauled away, then lock the gate. If I had to look at that yard, I'd be more than pissed off. It's like outta sight, outta mind. Looks like a fail to me. Did you lose interest? | -------------------Re: Litter News You Can Use
